Whole Numbers/Operations

• Find numbers around the house, roll numbers with dice, and compare them or put them in order from least to greatest.
• Find numbers and write them in expanded form (23,578 = 20,000 + 3,000 + 500 + 70 + 8)
• Find numbers and practice saying the place and value of the digits.
• Collect objects (cereal, coins, buttons, legos) and estimate how many then count them in other ways than by ones to find the total.
• Flip two cards over to determine the factors. Make an array to find the product (In the equation 3 x 2 = 6, three and two are the factors and six is the product).

Fractions/Decimals

• Look for fractions on food labels in your refrigerator, pantry, kitchen, recipes and see if you can name equivalent fractions for the amount shown.
• Roll number cubes to make fractions. Then represent that fraction visually.
• Identify fractions at meal times. For example, you ate 1/2 of an orange, 3/4 bowl of cereal, 1 whole pizza, and 2/3 of a glass of juice.
• Find fractions in your home and order them from least to greatest.
• Use measuring cups when baking or cooking.
• Convert the fractions in a recipe by doubling or tripling the recipe.
• Relate dimes to tenths and pennies to hundredths and make up decimals using dimes and pennies.
• Use a menu or a receipt to compare money and put items in order from least to greatest.

Measurement/Geometry

• Compare items by length or weight.
• Write down your schedule for the day or week and find the elapsed time between events.
• Use string to measure things around your house.
• Explore the area and volume of a cereal box.
• Find angles in your house or outside and name them as acute, right, or obtuse.
• Find objects in or outside your house with intersecting lines, perpendicular lines, and/or parallel lines.
• Identify, describe, and classify different household objects as two-dimensional or three-dimensional figures.
