The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'
Math is fun in preschool...whether you are outside writing numbers for the "hopscotch" game or counting buttons for the snowman!
What's the date again?
Two of the Pre-Kindergarten work together to put the numbers on the calendar in sequential order.

Take your "math work" outside week!
After
Ms. Sara wrote the numbers we stated, we worked on identifying the numbers as
we hopped and skipped (and ran) our way down the hopscotch line. One of our kindergartners copied the numbers to create an additional hopscotch area for people to use "while they're waiting".

We

ourselves!

Books can help reinforce mathematical concepts as well. Ask the children's librarian at your local library for their suggestions. Some of our favorites have included Mouse Count by Ellen Stoll Walsh and 20 Big Trucks in the Middle of the Street by Mark Lee.
