Go on a Nature Hunt!
In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are “bigger” and “smaller,” “longer" and “shorter." These concepts are not only important for kindergarten math, they also encourage children to become better scientific observers.
Nuts and Bolts: A Sorting Activity
Does Dad's tool box need to be tidied up? Get your child to help you clean, while sneaking in a little math along the way. Sorting objects by size, color, shape, or function is an important concept in mathematical reasoning, and it's the perfect excuse for a little housekeeping!
Start a Survey!
This activity puts your kid in charge of her own survey. She'll poll her relatives and friends, collect information, and then create a colorful chart to display her findings.
Make a Paper Chain Calendar
Young kids usually have only a vague sense of time. They probably know that an hour is longer than ten minutes, and a week is shorter than a month, but it's difficult for them to gauge time's passing. Making a paper chain calendar can help.
Foot Fun: A Measurement Activity
To understand measurement, kids need direct experiences with comparing and ordering objects. But that doesn't necessarily mean sitting down with a ruler. This measurement activity uses feet to compare objects, but not the ones found on a measuring stick...the feet on your child's own body!
Make a ME Timeline
Help your child create a "Me Timeline," a unique poster that works on key math and early social studies skills-- putting events in order.
Make Math Active with a Personal Record Book
In kindergarten, kids start to experiment with measurement for the first time. Eventually, that means learning to use a ruler, but at first, they "measure" with things like spoons, blocks, and paper clips. Make measurement fun by helping your child create his own personal record book.
Christmas Skip Counting Book
In kindergarten, kids learn how to count by twos. In teacher-lingo, this is called "skip counting." Give your child some practice with even numbers, while creating a cute Christmas keepsake. Plus, get some holiday cards in the bargain!
Make This Number Line: Count Place on a Lace!
Got a shoelace? Got a kindergartener? Help your child learn to use the number line by creating one out of a lace.
Make a Wind Chime
Get kids busy with this colorful craft activity, and sneak in some math practice without them even realizing it! This beaded wind chime is fun to make, and it gets kids experimenting with patterns, a key kindergarten math skill.
