Here are a few more
math ideas to stick in your resource pocket!
Math Houses for Fact
Families
Cut out house shapes. Write the numbers on the top of the
house as shown. Children fill in
the various addition and subtraction facts.
Friends of Ten Web
Write ten in the
middle. Children think of the
facts that equal ten and web them around.
*Children could do this
for decomposing any number.
T Chart for Odd and
Even
Write odd and even numbers
on the T-chart. What do children
notice about the numbers that are odd?
What’s the same about the numbers that are even?
Math Homework
Have children interview
their parents to find out they use math at work. Report their findings the next day at school. Let children draw or write what they
want to be when they grow up. Why
will math be important in their jobs?
Brainstorm!
Brainstorm all the things
in their homes that use numbers and math. Let them make a list of all the
objects/appliances in their homes that have numbers.
The Price Is Right!
Cut pictures of items from
a toy catalog or flyer. Cover up
the price. Let children estimate
how much each item costs. Show the
actual value and determine who guessed more, less, or the closest amount.
