A quick tutorial of how to set up this week's math activities.

MATH

Complete one per day (if you want :-)

  • Write #'s 1-10 on cards. Lay them out on the floor. Toss a bean bag or small stuffy friend onto a card and have your child read the # on the card.

  • Write #'s 1-10 on cards. Lay them out on the floor all mixed up. Have/help your child put in order 1-10.

  • Use your #'s 1-10 cards. Have your child match objects to the #. Ex: 2 Legos next to the card with 2 on it.

  • Make numbers on the Number Trace worksheet in the packet I sent home. You could use cereal or noodles.

  • Number Trace ( in Preschool Packet)- write numbers or trace numbers with your finger.

ART & SENSORY

Some ideas if you want to include art

  • Lots of people in the community have displayed Teddy Bears, Rainbows, and/or Hearts on the windows of their home. Make your own Bear, Rainbow, or Hearts and display on your window at home. Go on a walk and hunt for other Bears, Rainbows, and Hearts.

  • Foil Art: Paint on Tin Foil

  • Make Play-Doh (recipe in Preschool Packet I sent out)
