Preschool Math Activities: Share your at-home math games and counting activities here!

Preschool math activities done at home can be even more educational than those done at school!

There are so many creative ways parents can add math games and counting activities into the course of everyday interactions with their child:

  • Baking... "Help me count five cups of flour."

  • Setting the table... "Please get four spoons from the drawer."

  • Grocery shopping... "If I put 4 apples in the bag and you put three apples in the bag, how many apples will we have?"

  • Taking a walk... "You count all the red cars on this street and I'll count all the blue cars. Who saw more cars?

In Early Childhood Math Education children need to learn conceptual number awareness as well as develop fine motor skills to help them begin to form the numerals.
