Introducing Math

These activities are great for a child that's showing interest in math.
 
We created our own flash cards for this activity so they would fit in the tray.  
Using beads to count.
 
Here we're using our flash cards, a block of Styrofoam and some fancy toothpicks. 
 
Below, I printed the flashcards on transparency paper for the light table. We're using translucent gems for counting. 
 
Wooden numbers and wooden beads:
 
Number punch is another fun way to learn, and so quick to create.
The kids loved it because they could use a hole puncher!
 
Here we're using pasta beads that were out for making necklaces.
 
 
Easter is right around the corner ....
 
Match the number of dots to the correct number in the carton.
Write math problems on the eggs and the answers in the carton. Have your child check their own answers, or match their egg's math problem to the correct answer.
 Introduce number recognition by writing numbers on the egg and have your child match the egg to the correct spot in the carton.
 
We'll be using corkboard and thumb tacks on our next math board.
 
What are your kids interested in right now? What objects will you use?
