Kindergarten Math

Make Kindergarten Math Fun!

Set the stage for a lifetime love of math with some fun kindergarten math picks that are engaging and educational. Help kindergartners learn the basics, which will provide them with the fundamental knowledge they'll need to learn advanced math topics outside of kindergarten.

What Kind of Math Do Kindergarten Students Learn?

Learning how to recognize written numbers and how to count are good starting points for kindergarten math. Oftentimes, young kids will realize they've already been doing math every day and recognize that these concepts are familiar.

Helping young students realize that math isn't a new concept but is instead simply a category of something they already understand will help kindergarten math learning go a lot more smoothly.

Kindergarten Math Games

Making math fun is easier when you turn it all into a game. Infuse math into the other games kindergartners play by telling students to get into teams of three, and then ask them to "subtract" one team member to make teams of two before starting a game, or have kids race to collect a certain number of a sports equipment items before they start a game.

Adding some math games to students' day will help them see math as something fun instead of a school subject that should be stressed over.

1. Math card games use a fun format with which most young students are familiar (card games) and turns it into something educational. Math card games are fun for groups of students to play together or for parents to play with kids during home learning.
