Make a Bigger Number

 

How many different ways can you move ONE stick to a different location and create a bigger number?

(Ex: take the bottom left stick from the 6 and put it on top of the 4 to make 95. Or move the horizontal crossbar in the 4 and place it vertically under the stick on the 4's left side to make 116.)

Addition and Subtraction Coloring Up to 10

 

I came across this site quite by accident. It's in French, but in short there are several lessons and coloring sheets to help with math facts.

What's Your Favorite Season?

 

It would be a cute activity to ask students this question, and why they chose the answer they did. Of course, you might need to tell them about the four seasons first. Then do a little poll and show the results, which would also teach them more about numbers.

Stick With the Games, Not the Worksheets

Whether you agree with me or not, I've found that most worksheets are useless when teaching Pre-K and Kinder. Those worksheets I DO recommend involve teaching them to write. But most of the time the children who most need the help usually copy what they see on others' worksheet. You don't get an accurate accounting of what they can do.

My big suggestion is to make a game out of it. Make it one of your centers, or have them all play the game simultaneously in groups. Reading and math are excellent for this. And the competition hones each student's skills. 

The above is a sample worksheet for the season. But you can make any page out of a $1 dollar store coloring book into a game board.

*For this one, put the children into groups of 4-6. They share the ONE game sheet.
(If you have 4 groups of children, then you'll need four copies of the sheet.)
*Each child gets a different colored crayon.
*Child #1 throws a die, then colors in a section with that number.
*Then the next child throws.
*If there are no more empty spaces left for the number they throw, they lose that turn.
*At the end of the game, once all the numbered spaces are colored in, they count how many spaces have their color.
*The child with the most colored spaces wins.

NOTE: You can use this method to also work on letter (upper vs lower case) recognition, rhyming words (using cards or a self-made die), or practically any other skill you want them to learn. The possibilities are endless!
