Preschool Math Activities

Preschool math can be apart of your child’s everyday life. Look around you, there are so many wonderful opportunities to teach your child preschool math. My little tip Teaching math can be as simple as asking your child how many fingers he has or how many cookies he has left. It can be as fun as singing a counting song, playing a board game, doing a puzzle or building a block tower.

Do you have a great activity idea? Why not share it?

Activity Timers
Choose an action for your child to do and using a stop watch, see how many he can do in five seconds. Some ideas: hoping, spinning, jumping jacks, or running up the stairs. Write down how many he did and let him try again.

Balloon Bopping
Have your child try to keep a balloon in the air as long as he can. Count as he bops the balloon.

Clean The Clutter
Put toys and other items in a pile. Give your child some containers and have him sort the items and put them back where they should go. You can even time him to see how fast he can do it.

Egg Carton Counter
Write numbers on the inside of an egg carton. Give your child some beans or other small items. For each number in the egg carton, have your child place the correct number of beans.

Fill It Up
You will need a variety of containers and objects: cotton balls, cereal, pencils, dice, or small toys. Have you child fill up the different containers and count how many objects it takes to fill them up.

Hide and Seek Numbers
Choose a number, then go on a hunt to find a group of that many objects.

Preschool Calendar
Help your child make a calendar. Explain that there are twelve months in a year, seven days in a week and each day has a number. Then help your child mark special days and events that are happening that month. You can even make up fun days, like crazy hat day or picnic day. During the month have your child mark off each day.

Rocket Ship Blast-off
Have your child crouch low on the floor, then count to five, and say, “blast-off!”. Have your child jump into the air and fly like a rocket. Try again, counting to a different number or trying counting down. Try spinning like a helicopter, flying like an airplane, or driving a race car.
