The document provides ideas for math activities that involve concepts like matching, classifying, comparing, shapes, space, parts/whole, ordering, measurements, and graphing. The activities encourage kids to sort objects by different attributes, compare quantities like cup sizes, make shapes out of beans, see how objects fit together, order objects by size/number, measure ingredients, and create graphs to compare attributes like number of boys vs girls. The goal is to use hands-on learning to teach a variety of foundational math concepts.

1. MATH ACTIVITIES
PROJECT

2. MATCHING
GIVE THE KIDS A PILE OF TOY FROGS AND
HAVE THEM MATCH THE ONES THAT
LOOK AND FEEL THE SAME.

3. NUMBERS
PLAY BINGO OR GIVE KIDS A COLOR
BY NUMBER HAVE THEM DO PART
WITH CRAYONS AND THE OTHER
WITH M&M’S OR ANOTHER OBJECT
THEY DON’T USUALY COLOR WITH.

4. CLASSIFYINGGIVE THE
KIDS
18 CRAZY
BANDS
AND
HAVE
THEM
CLASSIFY
THEM
BY COLOR!!

5. COMPARING
HAVE KIDS COMPARE THINGS SUCH AS
A DOG AND A CAT AND THEN THEY CAN
GO ON TO COMPARING THINGS LIKE
HOW MUCH A BIG CUP HOLDS VS A
SMALL CUP.
BIG CUP LITTLE CUP

6. SHAPE
MAKE A SHEET THAT HAS SHAPES ON IT, HAVE THEM DRAW
THE SHAPE UNDERNEITH AND THEN MAKE THE SHAPE OUT OF
BEANS UNDER THAT.

7. SPACE
KIDS CAN TAKE OBJECTS LIKE BOWLS OR CUPS AND SEE
THAT THEY MIGHT FIT TOGETHER ONE WAY BUT NOT THE
OTHER.

8. PARTS/WHOLE
YOU CAN HAVE KIDS
PLAY WITH MR.
POTAOE HEAD, HE
HAS DIFFERENT
PARTS AND IF HE
IS MISSING AN
EAR OR A NOSE HE
IS NOT A WHOLE
MR. POTATOE.

9. ORDERING
YOU CAN HAVE
KIDS ORDER
OBJECT LIKE DICE
BY THEIR SIZE
AND NUMBER.

10. MEASUREMENTS
USE MEASURING
CUPS AND SPOONS
AND HAVE KITS
HELP MEASURE OUT
INGREDENTS FOR A
RECIPE FOR THE
CLASS,
CONGRATULATE
THEM FOR A JOB
WEL DONE BY
SHARING THE
TREAT.

11. BOYS VS. GIRLS
BOYS
GIRLS
GRAPHING
COMPARE THE NUMBER OF BOYS
IN THE CLASS TO THE NUMBER
OF GIRLS AND MAKE A PIE
CHART. IT IS A VISUAL WAY TO
SHOW IF THERE ARE MORE
GIRLS OR MORE BOYS IN THE
CLASS.
