  1. Helping Your Child Learn Mathematical Concepts Simple Activities to Do at Home

  2. Add math to everyday activities. • Mathematical experiences for young children should build largely upon their play and the natural relationships between learning and life in their daily activities and interests.

  3. Construction Toys • Some materials are so beneficial that your children should play with them again and again. Blocksand Legos can encourage your children to count, build structures, learn about combining shapesand comparing sizes.

  4. Play Games • Checkers • Chess • Backgammon • Mancala • Mastermind • Board games (such as Monopoly, Parcheesi, Candy Land, Trouble, Hi Ho Cherry-O) • Card games (such Go Fish, Rummy, Speed, Compare) • Dominoes

  5. Count Everything! • Count your actions. Many games and playful activities naturally call out for counting. How many times can you bounce a balloon in the air before it touches the ground? How many times can you skip rope?

  6. Sorting and Classifying • Classify as you clean.Matching, classifying, and sorting are important learning experiences that take place when playtime is over and everything must be cleaned up. It's also a good time to use spatial vocabulary such as "next to," "on top of," and "will that fit in this container?"

  7. Keep Moving! • Beanbag Toss • Hopscotch • Bowling • Mother May I

  8. Play with Routes and Maps • Talk about landmarks you see when you take walks, indoors or out. Your child can begin to create models of these landmarks using toys. • Emphasize that models and maps are shrunken versions of the original space.

  9. Talk to Your Children • Seize opportunities to make connections to • mathematics in your world.

  10. Read Math Related Literature • Benny’s Pennies • 12 Ways to Get to 11 • Mouse Count • Counting Crocodiles • One Red Rooster • One Hungry Cat • Two Crazy Pigs • Monster Math • The Doorbell Rang

  11. Online Tools • https://www.pearsonsuccessnet.com • http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activities.aspx?grade=1 • Your teacher’s class wikispace

  12. It Takes Time! • “It takes time and lots of experiences for • children to develop a full understanding of • number that will grow and enhance all of the • number-related concepts of the school years.” • John A. Van de Walle
