The activities and games we provide align with our Big Ideas of math and are tried-and-true ways to engage children in thinking about them. We don't offer a curriculum, but instead, we hope these selected activities will complement your current math teaching or at-home play, enriching your understanding of the Big Ideas in action, and serve as examples of simple, yet powerful math learning in preschool, kindergarten, and the primary years.

Whether it's story time, game time, or family time, we hope these ideas will complement your routines as well as bring out the Big Ideas that support a lifetime of mathematical thinking.

Quantity is a particular amount of something, expressed as a number. Quantity cards for young children can have pictures of small sets such as dots, finger patterns, or 5- or 10- frames. The ones we have available on our site use a variety of pictures or "suits," since matching quantities such as fingers and dots can help develop ideas about equivalence.

Helping Your Child Understand Our World Through Math

Helping Your Child Understand Our World Through Math

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One of the questions classroom teachers and I are asked on a regular basis by parents is, "How can I support my child's math learning at home?" It is so wonderful when parents want to support their child's growth and understanding of how mathematics is relevant outside of school! Plus, there is a significant body of research that shows how beneficial it is when parents support the learning efforts started at school.

While some people may think of activities like practicing math facts with flashcards or purchasing math workbooks, I would like to offer some alternatives that are arguably more meaningful since these ideas allow students to make sense of our world through the lens of math. Through counting, comparing, and composing or decomposing numbers and/or shapes, children learn how to understand mathematical relationships in authentic contexts. Here are some of the ideas I recently provided for parents of kindergarteners, though these ideas can certainly be adapted for a variety of age levels to include more complex math concepts like fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, multiplication, and division.

Involve your child in cooking. Measuring the number of Tbs, tsp, cups, etc. provides both measurement and counting practice.

Do number or shape scavenger hunts around the house or out and about, and then use the opportunities to make mathematical comparisons between numbers or shapes.

Whenever you play a game with moving a piece on a game board, have your child count the number of spaces to be moved for each player. If scoring is involved, ask your child to use tally marks or addition/subtraction to be the game's official scorekeeper.

The websites Math Before Bed and Bedtime Math also provide prompts for families to use to facilitate math conversations at home, and Bedtime Math has developed two free apps as well, (ages 3 - 5) and Bedtime Math (ages 3 - 9). Games are another great way to engage the whole family in math-related activities and conversation, so stay tuned for a future blog post on that! What are additional ideas you give to parents to help support their child's math development at home?

The first five minutes of any art class can become chaotic quickly. It's important to have a daily routine for students to follow. Using bell ringers is a great strategy to help settle students and save time. It sets the tone for a productive class.

Bell work can be presented in various ways. From answering questions to writing down vocabulary words, the possibilities are endless!

One engaging idea is to start each class by having students complete "The Daily Draw."

Students come into class, take out their sketchbooks, and complete the drawing prompt as they wait for further instructions. This practice serves as a way to get students involved and ready to learn in a quick, easy way.

A drawing prompt is a great way to start class, but it's just one option. If you're looking for more ways to get your students seated and settled, be sure to check out the Insider Secrets for Successfully Managing the Classroom PRO Learning pack! There's an entire section devoted to successfully starting each class period.

The key to effective bell work is to make it as engaging as possible.

Below you'll find a list of 100 Silly Drawing Prompts. These prompts are a great way to get your students warmed up for class. You might even find your students rushing to your room to see what silly drawing idea you'll come up with next!
