Math Bundle for Early Numeracy

When teaching early math skills, hands-on activities are critical in helping our little learners understand number concepts. Adding a little seasonal twist into these activities certainly makes them engaging. The Make, Take & Teach Spring Themed Math Bundle for Early Numeracy contains 12 hands-on activities for learning basic number concepts, counting, number order, writing numbers, and basic addition facts. Here are just a few of my favorites contained within this pack:

Play-Doh Number Mats

Play-Doh number mats are always a hit. When you download this activity you will receive number mats for numbers 1-10. Each mat contains an area for forming the number as well as counting balls using a ten frame.

Number Order

The Caterpillar Number Order Activity can easily be differentiated as you choose how many numbers/caterpillar body pieces to use during your lesson. There are circle body pieces for the numbers 0-20.

Build a Caterpillar

Students love to build their own caterpillar with the Build A Caterpillar activity. There are 10 cards (numbers 1-10) where the student places the correct number of Play-Doh balls on the mat.

$Math Bundle for Counting$

How Many?

I love the How Many? activity! You can place the cards on a ring and students can practice counting and writing numbers nearly anywhere. I know some of my parent friends have created these cards and used them while traveling. Once laminated, the students write the correct number on the card using a dry erase marker– simply wipe clean and use over and over again! Ideal math center activity.

Number Writing Mats

Students practice correct number formation with the Number Writing Mats. When you download this activity you will receive number writing mats for the numbers 1-20.

Number Cards

It’s always helpful to have number cards on hand. A numeral card, number word card, and a 10-frame card is included for numbers 1-20.

Missing Numbers

There are 4 different missing number activities. The first activity works on missing numbers 1-10, the second 1-20 and then the third 1-100.

Fly Swat! Math

For your kiddos who are ready to add, the Fly Swat! activity is certainly a hit! Simply print the flies, place a piece of Velcro on each fly and then a strip of Velcro on a fly swatter. Students “swat” the flies and solve the math problem on the flies they catch.
