Kindergarten Math Games
Hi! It’s great to be back online after a very full holiday season. We’re now back into the swing of things and I’d like to share some new activities the kids and I have started into. I’ll start first with my 5 year old’s math activities the past couple of days:
We’ve been going over the days of the week and placing them in the proper order. |
This is an game to reinforce odd-even, less and more (we’ve been playing this for nearly a year now from time-to-time). I cut up butterflies from prekinders.com and made up my own dice. One die has large numbers (10-16) and another die has smaller numbers (4-9). We each choose a die, roll it and collect that number of butterflies in our net. Then one player spins the spinner to see who wins the round. |
This game is from Peggy Kaye’s Games for Math (I highly recommend this book or any of her books!!) and is supposed to help reinforce the idea of regrouping (moving nine singles+1 to the large square). I think I had too many “win 10” slots on my spinner, but DD enjoyed this game nonetheless! The first player to fifty won the game. |
