Real World Math Experiences

Using the child's interests as an inspiration, try some of these activities:

​

** Gardening and measuring and comparing plants

** Scavenger hunts for items in nature-then sort, count, compare

** Baking and cooking using measuring cups and spoons

** Counting items around the home (count by 2s, 5s, 10s)

** Measuring and comparing the height of family members

** Considering the passing of time-what takes longer-compare two daily routines at home

** Building with toys at home

** Counting, sorting and coins-talk about their value

** How many jumps to get from one spot to another

** Writing important phone numbers

** I Spy Shapes-play inside or outside
