Math Activities

Use food to make patterns or shapes. Kids can use fruit snacks or cereal to make an A-B pattern. For example: grape-peach-grape-peach using fruit snacks and yellow-red-yellow-red for Fruit Loops. Kids can "bite a shape" out of their graham crackers.    
              
Environmental Numbers!  These numbers can be found on houses, signs, and at stores. Your child will benefit from knowing and naming numbers all around them. Numbers are all around us. Point out the numbers you see when you are out and about!
                                 
Cooking and Baking with kids.  Including your child when you are cooking or baking provides them with opportunities to recognize and name numbers in the recipe and by using measuring cups or spoons. It also helps your child to follow directions and empowers them!
