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.
Before a child can begin to write his letters or numbers, he needs to strengthen his small muscles in the fingers.
Children with shaky or weak fingers will try to avoid writing. It's hard for them and makes them feel less than competent.
Your job as the educationally-involved parent is to provide your child with lots of activities that make their little fingers become stronger... without the child knowing it!
