Art Friends Number Match

7/17/2017

The free membership printable this week is Art Friends Number Match for number recognition and fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

I separated the art friend cards from the easel cards and mixed up the numbers in each pile. I then set them out along with large plastic white paper clips. The number match comes with numbers 0-30 so you can choose which number cards to set out.

In this activity the children pick an art friends card and find the easel card with the same number. They then clip the cards together with a paper clip or clothespin. Play continues until all numbers have been matched.

You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday July 23rd ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Art Friends Alphabet Match.

The free membership printable this week is Digger Roll and Cover for math and number recognition as well as fine motor skills. I printed the tracing sheets on cardstock paper and laminated them.

I set the mats out along with dice and playdough. You can also use pom poms or the included cover-up circles. I have included numbers 1-10 and 11-20 mats.

In this activity the children roll the dice and cover up the same number on the mat. Play continues until all numbers have been covered.

butterfly ten frames for preschool and kindergarten math

We are finishing up out butterfly theme this week and I made butterfly ten frames for our math center. The ten frames are from my upcoming Early Learning Ten Frames release which will be available for download soon!!

Ten frames are great for math and number recognition as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.

Children pick a card and put the correct number of counters on the frames. You can choose to set all of the numbers out or just a few. For younger children I recommend starting with numbers 1-5 or 1-10. The set comes with numbers 1-20. Click the link below to download.

I put the birdhouse cards in a basket along with math link cubes. We also like to use playdough balls with ten frames but you can use what you would like for the counters. I have included counter circles with the patterns that you can put on the frames.

robot number match for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Robot Number Match which is great for number recognition and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

I mixed the robots and gears up so they were not in order and set them out in to separate piles. Children put the robots in numerical order. We did this activity on the floor but you can also do it on a table.

After all of the robots were laid out in order the children then put the gears on the robots with the same numbers. The children can clip them together with clothes pins or large plastic coated paper clips. We did the activity as a sequence match but you can do it as a regular match without putting the robots in numerical order first.

You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday March 26th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a robot alphabet match.

Roll and Count Math Mat

roll and count math mat for preschool and kindergarten

I made a roll and count math mat that can be used with different types of counters. The mat is a grid mat with thirty-five blank squares. I printed the mat on cardstock paper and laminated it.

Children roll the dice and place counters in the same number of squares that is on the dice. Play continues until all squares have been filled. For an extra challenge children can continue to roll the dice and remove the same number of counters until the mat is empty.

We used fine motor counters such as playdough ... pom poms ... and unifix or math linking cubes. Children who used the playdough shaped it in to small balls which can be done either before or during the games.

Those who used the math link cubes snapped together five sets of seven cubes and then broke the cubes off when it was time to place them on the mat. They then snapped them back on when taking them off. You can grab the roll and count math mat pattern below and also see a video of this activity by clicking the image.
