Math
• Focus your child’s attention on the colors, shapes and numbers seen all
around them! Ask them to help you read the numerals on signs, to point out
the shapes of items in the grocery store, to find colors inside and out.
• Let you budding chef assist you in the kitchen. Let them help pour, mix,
measure, roll, etc.
• Encourage the practice of sorting skills while folding laundry, putting toys
away, playing with colored blocks, eating their favorite candies such
as M&M’s, etc.
• For numeral practice, make two flash cards of each numeral (0-5 to start
and add numerals as skill increases). Play go fish, sort and match the numerals,
go around the house and place the numeral card next to sets of that many
objects, play memory, bingo, etc. You can create similar simple games for
shapes and colors!
• Refer to calendar frequently. Talk about the days of the week, the date,
count the number of days left until an upcoming event.
• There are objects all around your home to practice counting (books, shoes,
shirts, toys, pens, etc.) Have your child touch and move each item forward
as he/she is counting.
• Play dominoes and board games in which children have to roll a die and
count how many spaces they get to move!
