Number and Operations

One-to-One Correspondence
Give children experiences in one-to-one correspondence every day by asking them to pass out snacks, put pegs in holes, or match puzzle pieces.

Let children match one-to-one by putting tennis balls in a muffin pan or cotton balls in an ice cube tray.

Make matching books where children match blocks, toys, cereal, and other objects one-to-one.

Teach children how to set the table with a place setting where they match real objects to outlines.

Counting Forwards and Backwards
Macarena Math - Practice counting as you dance the “Macarena.” You can also practice skip counting as you dance.

Counting Books - Let children draw pictures of themselves and use these to make a counting book. Number pages 1, 2, 3…etc. Read the book counting forwards and then backwards.

• Make a “High Five” book with children’s fingers.
Trace around each child’s hand and let him decorate it. Attach pages with tape to make an accordion book. Number pages 5, 10, 15, 20…etc.

• Make a “Piggie Book” by tracing around children’s feet. Practice counting by ten’s with the book.

Sets and Number Recognition

Seasonal Games - Make seasonal games where children make sets to match numerals. For example, you could have children make sets with pumpkin seeds in a pumpkin, candles on a birthday cake, gumballs in a gum machine, ice cream scoops on a cone, and so forth.

Math Line Up - A Pringle’s can or icing can and poker chips are all you’ll need to make this game. Write the numerals 1-25 (or however many children there are in your room) on the chips. Cut a 2”x ½” slit in the lid and insert the chips. When it’s time to line up, pass the can around and have each child select a chip. The person with “1” on his chip lines up, followed by the child with “2,” and so on.
