5 Engaging and Educational Math Activities for
Preschoolers
2

• As parents and educators, we all want our
  preschoolers to have a strong foundation in math.
  
• Early math skills lay the groundwork for future
  learning and problem-solving abilities. But
  teaching
• math to young children doesnt have to be
  tedious. Easy math for preschoolers can be a fun
  way to
• kickstart your childs early learning journey.
• In this blog, well explore some exciting math
  activities for preschoolers, that make math
• activties for preschoolers an enjoyable learning
  adventure.

• Counting with Toys
• Counting with toys is a simple yet effective way
  to introduce preschoolers to numbers.
• Gather various toys such as building blocks,
  teddy bears, or toy cars. Ask your child to
• count how many of each they have, or challenge
  them to create a tower using a specific
• number of blocks.
• This game not only helps children practice
  counting but also builds number recognition,
• one-to-one correspondence (understanding that
  each number represents a quantity), and
• basic math skills. Additionally, manipulating
  small objects like toys helps develop fine motor
• skills

• Shape Scavenger Hunt
• Engage your child in a shape scavenger hunt. Ask
  them to find and name objects with
• specific shapes within your house or outside. For
  example, you can say, Find something
• that is a circle.
• This activity sparks a childs curiosity and
  observation skills. It encourages them to
• identify and differentiate shapes in their
  surroundings, promoting spatial awareness and
• cognitive development.

• Measure Up Mission
• Introduce the concept of measurement with a fun
  scavenger hunt. Choose any object
• from your house and ask your child to find items
  around the house that are either shorter or
• longer than the reference object, or the same
  size.
• This game lays the foundation for understanding
  measurement concepts, sizes, and
• lengths. It also encourages early math and
  problem-solving skills while developing
• critical thinking as children compare objects.

• Zoop to Numbers and Shapes
• Scatter numbers written on paper along with
  different shapes around the room.
• Randomly call out a shape or number and ask your
  child to find and reach the same.
• Zoop is an excellent game for enhancing number
  and shape recognition. It encourages
• cognitive flexibility as children quickly respond
  to random cues. This game sharpens
• their ability to associate numbers and shapes,
  fostering a deeper understanding of math.

• Sort them Out
• Set up three bowls or jars and assign a different
  shape to each. Create a mixed
• collection of these three shapes and ask your
  child to sort them into the correct bowl or jar
• based on their shape.
• Matching shapes to containers is a hands-on
  approach to sorting and classifying. This
• game enhances pattern recognition, critical
  thinking, and problem-solving skills. It also
• encourages children to follow instructions and
  engage in structured play.

• These math activities for pre-schoolers introduce
  fundamental mathematical concepts
• and promote cognitive development,
  problem-solving, and fine motor skills. As your
  child
• enjoys these activities, theyll build a strong
  foundation for their educational journey.
• Programs like i-Maths are designed to further
  enhance your childs mathematical
• abilities. i-Maths inspire critical and creative
  thinking in children, preparing them for a
• future filled with problem-solving, patterns, and
  number sense. Enrol your child in i-Maths
• and nurture a lifelong love of learning and math,
  setting them up for a bright educational
• future.
