Happy Math Fun Inwards The Puddle {Get Ready For K Through Play}
December 28, 2018
Edit
This calendar week for the Get Ready for K Through Play Series we are talking most math concepts.
For this activity get-go brand a giant foam noodle hoop past times attaching the ii noodles amongst duct tape.
Next, toss all of your foam numbers within the hoop.
Close your eyes in addition to select care of 1 number. Say the lay out aloud in addition to and therefore throw it dorsum inwards the hoop.
Once y'all know all the unmarried digit numbers, do making double digit numbers past times grabbing TWO numbers amongst your eyes closed. Hold them together in addition to tell the number! For example, if y'all select care of 2 in addition to iv in addition to therefore y'all tell 24!
This is a elementary counting UP activity! Just select care of numbers 0-9 in addition to do throwing them into the hoop... IN ORDER from 0-9.
To brand this to a greater extent than difficult, select care of a small-scale foam cast or plastic ball in addition to write harder numbers on each foam shape/ball. Toss them within the hoop inwards monastic enjoin too!
For example, select care of several plastic puddle toy balls in addition to write numbers 20-30 on them... in addition to and therefore toss them into the hoop inwards monastic enjoin 20, 21, 22, 23,.... Or y'all tin only do proverb the names of the double digit numbers acre tossing them inwards the hoop inwards random order!
The principal destination of these activities is to accept fun... therefore adjust in addition to accommodate these therefore that your tyke is having fun acre also exploring numbers in addition to practicing counting!
Have kids spread the foam numbers all over the pool. Then select care of a kickboard in addition to become in addition to discovery them! You tin discovery them inwards sequential monastic enjoin or fifty-fifty discovery them inwards backwards order! Or accept 1 tyke enshroud them in addition to roughly other 1 discovery them. Hunts are our favorite activities in addition to doing them inwards the puddle is cool too.
*After a petty fleck my kids nixed the kickboard in addition to only had fun practicing swimming to the numbers which was perfect since nosotros dearest finding fun ways to do their strokes equally well!
Write +/-/= signs on a large foam shape. Then lay all your foam numbers on the exterior of the hoop in addition to alternative ii numbers amongst your eyes closed.
Make a elementary add-on or subtraction lay out judgement using the foam numbers in addition to the large foam +/-/= shapes.
Then add/subtract the numbers together in addition to discovery the total in addition to add together it within your hoop!
My boy in addition to married adult man had fun doing this activity together. They started amongst elementary unmarried digit add-on lay out sentences similar 2+2= in addition to and therefore moved to double/single digit lay out sentences similar 14+2= or 25+6= They skillful "counting up" starting amongst the large lay out in addition to and therefore counting upward using their fingers to add together the other numbers onto the lay out sentence.
Fostering Kindergarten Math Skills Through Play
Since it is summertime in addition to it is HOT where nosotros are, nosotros are heading to the puddle for roughly elementary math activities to acquire produce for kindergarten.
Some skills kids larn inwards kindergarten include...
- counting objects accurately to 30
- understanding to a greater extent than than/less than/equal
- recognizing numbers to 30
- counting past times 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s
- demonstrating the concept of +/- amongst objects
In this post service nosotros are going to part how nosotros skillful elementary counting in addition to lay out skills acre nosotros played inwards the pool!
Materials Needed: foam numbers, duct tape, puddle noodles, foam shapes, Sharpie
Making Numbers

Number Basketball
This is a elementary counting UP activity! Just select care of numbers 0-9 in addition to do throwing them into the hoop... IN ORDER from 0-9.

For example, select care of several plastic puddle toy balls in addition to write numbers 20-30 on them... in addition to and therefore toss them into the hoop inwards monastic enjoin 20, 21, 22, 23,.... Or y'all tin only do proverb the names of the double digit numbers acre tossing them inwards the hoop inwards random order!
The principal destination of these activities is to accept fun... therefore adjust in addition to accommodate these therefore that your tyke is having fun acre also exploring numbers in addition to practicing counting!
Kickboard Number Hunt
Have kids spread the foam numbers all over the pool. Then select care of a kickboard in addition to become in addition to discovery them! You tin discovery them inwards sequential monastic enjoin or fifty-fifty discovery them inwards backwards order! Or accept 1 tyke enshroud them in addition to roughly other 1 discovery them.

Counting past times 10s Star Hunt
Our end activity involved skip counting past times 10s to 100. We used foam stars amongst numbers 10-100. We tossed the stars all over the puddle in addition to and therefore my boy got to swim to discovery them in addition to lay them inwards lay out order.
He learned a skip counting past times 10s vocal watching 1 of the LeapFrop Math videos, therefore he only sang along acre he swam in addition to collected the numbers inwards order.
We had therefore much fun embedding roughly math play into our H2O activities this week! Check dorsum for fifty-fifty to a greater extent than H2O play activities adjacent calendar week since that is our subject for Virtual Book Club Summer Camp!
This post service is business office iv of an 8 calendar week serial existence hosted on half dozen blogs to help kids Get Ready for K Through Play!
