Try to do two math activities each week. Some of these activities can be done in the car or while shopping. Repeat these activities as needed. Most of these activities work best when done with an adult.
1. Count by 10s to 100. Then count by 10s beginning with any number. For example, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91 and etc.
2. Count by 5s to 100.
3. Say a number and then have your child say what number is one more, one less, 10 more and 10 less. (0-9 don’t have 10 less
unless you want to talk about negative numbers…)
4. Write a number. Have your child identify which number is in the ones place and tens place and go on to the hundreds place if
your child is ready.
5. Look at the change in someone’s purse or pocket. Identify the coins. Try to combine and count same coins.
6. Look at the clock and tell what time it is. (To the hour and half hour.)
7. Practice addition and subtraction up to 20 using flashcards.
8. Measure five things in your house using items such as paper clips, hands, blocks, etc.
9. Create a subtraction or addition story problem and then solve it.
10. Choose a room in your house. Name the shapes you find in that room.
11. Count all of the light switches or windows or doors etc. in your house. Count again to make sure you’re correct. Then say 1
more, 1 less, 10 more and 10 less of that number.
12. Create a calendar for the month. Keep track of special events and occasions.
13. Go online to Prodigy. (Information will be sent home so you’ll know what this is.)
14. Go online to iReady. (Information will be sent home so you’ll know what this is.)
15. If you reverse any numbers, practice writing them correctly.
16. Learn your phone number and complete address.
17. Draw a map of your bedroom (or any room in the house). Include as many details as possible.
18. Help with the grocery shopping. Where do you find the price of an item?
19. When you ride in the car, notice all of the places you see numbers.
20. Find a calculator. Figure out how to add and subtract numbers.
21. Write a list of all of your family members. Record their birthdays by their names.
22. Play a math game.
23. Practice jumping rope. Count how many times you can jump without missing.
24. Ask your family members a survey question. Make a graph showing the information you find out.
25. Make a pattern out of objects at home. Explain it to someone.
26. Write the numbers starting at 0 and ending at 120. If you can’t write all of them, go as high as you can. If you can easily go to
120, see if you can go higher.
27. Name the days of the week, months of the year, and seasons in order.
28. Draw as many shapes as you can. Label and color them.
29. Play a math game on the internet.
30. Play any game where you need to add or subtract numbers in the game or in adding up the score.
31. Figure out how many hands you have at your house. Then figure out how many fingers, noses, eyes, fingers and toes and etc.
you have at your house.
32. Practice tying shoes! Seriously! This counts as homework.
33. Your choice! Do something mathematical and have fun!
