7 Kindergarten Math Activities To Make Learning Fun

Young children are often eager to learn new skills and concepts. That’s why introducing kindergarten math activities can be so effective.

One thing to always remember, though, is to make learning at home fun and engaging because children learn best through play. And, luckily for you, our experts at HOMER know a thing or two about that!

This article will give you a detailed guideline to help your child get a solid mathematical foundation. These easy at-home activities are fun, engaging, and offer lots of learning opportunities.

Without further ado, let’s get started.

Kindergarten Math Concepts

Before we dive in, it’s important to understand which concepts your young learner will be tackling in kindergarten. That way, it’s easier to know which activities and math skills to focus on at home.

The following are the key math principles your child may know by the end of their kindergarten year:

• Counting and cardinality
• Recognizing numbers beyond 10
• Adding and subtracting single-digit numbers
• Recognizing shapes
• Classifying objects by size

With the principles above in mind, we’ve compiled a list of activities that will help your child develop these essential skills.

7 Fun Kindergarten Math Activities

1) Shape Hunt

What You’ll Need:

• Notebook
• Crayons

What To Do:

Start by selecting any two objects around your house that look different but have the same shape. Then, give your child clues about one of the objects. For example, you might say, “It has a round shape.”

Your child will need to act as a detective and solve this shape mystery! When they are confident that they know what this object is, encourage them to take their detective notebook and draw the item.

Repeat this process for the second object.

Once your little detective has found and drawn the two objects, you can evaluate them and discuss other items with the same shape. So, for something that’s round, this can be plates, pizza, door handles, and so on.

Once you’re confident they understand the properties of the shape, you can play the game again with another shape (triangle, square, etc.).

You don’t have to limit yourselves to your indoor space. You can also head outside and search for many interesting shapes in your garden, local park, or neighborhood if you’d like.

2) Count The Beans

What You’ll Need:

• Spoon
• Dried kidney beans

What To Do:

For this fun activity, you will need to take a spoon and hold it outstretched. Your child will then proceed to put one dried kidney bean at a time onto the spoon.

When the first one falls off, you then count how many beans you managed to get on the spoon.

You can play this game with a larger spoon as well. For this, the numbers will get higher, so your child will need to be familiar with higher numbers before they’re ready for this one.

To help, a simple 10 frame should do the trick (a 10 frame is basically a rectangle with 10 equal spaces (five on top and five on the bottom).

If, when counting the beans, you end up with more than 10, you can put each set of 10 in a small paper cup, allocate the cups to each frame, and then add everything for the final tally.

This activity helps kindergarteners continue practicing their counting and gain an understanding of number sense.

3) Building Sets With Blocks

What You’ll Need:

• Building blocks

What To Do:

This activity requires you to ask your young learner to build a color tower with a specific number of blocks. For example, “Build a blue tower with 10 blocks, a red tower with eight blocks, and a yellow tower with eleven blocks.”

All this information will need to be remembered by your child, so this can be a great way to help build memory. Children will also continue practicing colors and counting skills with this activity.

4) Number Guessing

What You’ll Need:

Magnetic numbers (0 – 9)

What To Do:

For this activity, your child will need to put their hands behind their back. You will then place one of the magnetic numbers in their hands for them to feel. Can they guess the number?

If this is a little challenging at first, it can help to have another set of magnetic numbers that they can see as they feel.

This is a great sensory activity that can help familiarize children with each number’s interesting shape and unique qualities.

5) Shape Hopscotch

What You’ll Need:

• Different colored paper
• Scissors
• Painter’s tape

What To Do:

Hopscotch is one of our favorite games here at HOMER. If you’re looking to play the traditional game, you can check out this link, which includes other fun math-related activities in addition to Hopscotch.

For this article, we decided to switch things up a bit with shape hopscotch. All you need to do is cut out six different (but easily recognizable) shapes and give each shape its own color (for example, red circles, yellow triangles, blue squares, purple stars, etc.).

Once you have your shapes, tape them to the floor with painter’s tape. While taping, ensure that the spacing works for your child (the shapes aren’t too far apart).

You can encourage your child to jump, hop, or wiggle through the shapes. Here are a few ways they can make it through their shape maze:

• Call out colors or shapes for your child to race and find
• Have them hop from one side to the other side by only touching one shape or color
• Give them directions as they go, and ask what they’ve landed on. For example, “Jump three shapes to the left, one shape up, and two shapes right. What color and shape are you on?”

This is an excellent and fun way for kids to continue working on their gross motor skills while incorporating shape and color recognition. Children will also work on the important skill of following directions.

6) Make A Number Line

What You’ll Need:

• Chalk
• Paved area outside
• Deck of cards

What To Do:

On your paved area outside, draw a large number line with chalk. You can write numbers up to 10, 20, or even 30 as your child becomes familiar with those numbers.

Next, take five red playing cards (numbers 1 – 5) and five black playing cards (numbers 1 – 5). Then, you each get a token which you’ll place in the middle of the number line. Mix the cards and put them face down.

Next, take turns picking cards. A red card means you go up the number line based on the card’s value (for example, if you pull a red five of hearts, you move up five spaces). A black card, on the other hand, means you go down on the number line (red four of clubs = down four spaces).

If you end up below the number one or above the top number on the line, you’ll stay put until all players have had their turn.

After each player has picked four cards, whoever is highest on the number line wins!

7) Snowball Battle

What You’ll Need:

• Paper
• 3 small buckets

What To Do:

Crumble your paper to make “snowballs.” Then, place your buckets at the end of the room. Challenge your child to toss the snowballs into any of the buckets until they reach a target number (e.g., 10).

If you have multiple kids, this can turn into some friendly competition with a timer. How many can you land in five minutes?

You can also vary the game a bit for older kids by having them toss all 10 snowballs into the three buckets and then write down how they got to 10 (for example, with 3 balls in one bucket, 4 balls in the next, and 3 balls in the last). How many ways can it be done?

Gross motor and counting skills come into play when engaging in this activity.

Tips For Helping Kindergarteners With Math

The above activities should help your child practice and understand their math skills. Additionally, here are a few key points to keep in mind.

Incorporate Math Into Everyday Life

Math is all around us! It is in the shapes of objects and buildings, the measurements we take when baking, and the sorting of patterns. This makes it easy to incorporate math into everyday activities.

Remember that the more practice your child gets, the easier it will be to grasp these foundational concepts.

Make It Enjoyable

When something seems too challenging, kids can quickly become overwhelmed and give up before starting. Help your child understand how much fun math is by regularly introducing them to math activities in a fun, relaxed way.

We recommend checking out the HOMER blog to see what other entertaining learning games your child can play to build their math skills.

Practice Positive Reinforcement

Positive feedback is one of the key components for your child to continue having a healthy relationship with mathematics. So, when they finally grasp a concept they’ve been struggling with, make a big deal out of it by praising them.

And, if there’s a math skill they haven’t grasped yet, be patient and continue practicing. Soon enough, they’ll get it!

Lay A Solid Foundation With Kindergarten Math Activities

Sometimes children (and adults) view math negatively. You’ll often hear them express how challenging it is. But kindergarten math activities can help build positivity and confidence!

While it can be a challenge, math is still one of the most important subjects children learn and can benefit them for the rest of their lives. That’s why building math skills early on matters.

Engaging in fun, entertaining, and educational kindergarten math activities can help children achieve just that. And our list above offers great ways to practice.

How to teach a child to count and love mathematics? What can be done to facilitate the process of learning the world of mathematics? It's not as difficult as it might seem. It is only necessary to methodically deal with this and create all the conditions for the baby.

Before you begin to work with your baby, read a few tips:

• A small child cannot maintain the same position for a long time, perform the same action. Therefore, there is no need to get angry if your baby is distracted, slides from a chair to the floor, or suddenly asks a question completely “from a different opera”.
• If you use some kind of visual material in your classes - cards, pictures, toys, then introduce the child to all this in advance. This is done so that during the lesson the baby is not distracted from studying by looking at new things for him.
• Most likely you will work with your baby on some book. Do not try to “pass” it quickly and be sure to return to the past from time to time. The memory of babies is still very unstable.
• Young children are much better at assimilating emotionally perceived material. Therefore, use more games, counting rhymes and rhymes.
• For classes you will need counting material. As such, you can use large buttons, toys from Kindersurprise, parts from Lego. You will also need picture cards. You can use stickers for this.

How to introduce a child to logic?

You have a child, and you are beside yourself with surging happiness only from the realization that you have now become a happy mother and, finally, there will be someone to pass on your maternal love and knowledge. Not without reason, from time immemorial, all the leading philosophers have emphasized in every possible way that when parents want to raise their child in the image and likeness, hard or soft, they voluntarily or involuntarily want their baby to look like themselves. This process is called education.

Leading psychologists unanimously assure us that the kindness and breadth of your child's soul, voluntarily or involuntarily, should help in achieving his goals. Indeed, it is easier to be kind than smart. It is not for nothing that people say that a kind person helps everyone, while a smart one helps only those in need. And if you want to see your child not only kind, but also smart, then you need to start the whole process of education from infancy. But where do you start?

Start small. From logic. In order for your child to believe in the existence of cause and effect, you must always and must fulfill your parental promises (for example, “if you behave, then we will definitely go to the zoo.”)

If your child is already seriously interested in children's books, then it will be useful to add verbal logic puzzles and tasks with answers, such as: “If this is so, then this is because ...” or “What will happen if I do everything the other way around?” “How can all this be explained?” The development of logic is helped by simple children's riddles, puzzles, rebuses. Make it a rule to have a mystery night at least once a week. Teach your child to make puzzles.

Your child is entering a stage when everything becomes extremely interesting for him and his curiosity can and should be played on so that he can quickly learn and, most importantly, understand the world around him. And simple worldly logic will only be to his advantage.

To make it easier for your child to understand and realize all this, it will be useful to include in role-playing games some elements of ready-made conclusions, such as: “Your dolls go to bed in the evening because they get tired during the day. But my Volodya is also tired, and it’s time for him to go to bed too.”

You can also show such an example from the world of “Moidodyr” that if “the children do not wash and comb their hair, then the rest of the children in the kindergarten will not play with him.” Already in the process of growing up your child will be able to give much deeper concepts with logical overtones. Here you need to apply the main and basic principle - so that your child already begins to clearly understand that in this world there is always both a cause and an effect.

How to remember the graphic representation of numbers?

Very often it happens that the baby can count perfectly from 1 to 10, but he cannot find the number shown in the picture on his own. The graphic image of a figure for him is a complex abstract concept. The development of abstract thinking is not a simple process, as child psychologists believe. And without the help of adults, this is not enough.

Very often babies confuse numbers that are a little similar to each other, for example 6 and 9, 8 and 3, 4 and 7. And this problem should by no means be overlooked. The baby needs help to understand such complex, for his perception, graphic images. It will be much easier for a kid to remember a number if he can find its similarity with some object or animal: 2-swan, 8-points.

If mom can pick up interesting poems about numbers, then the memorization process will be even easier. How to help kids? The main thing is not to get angry with children if they do not grasp everything “on the fly”. This is for you, adults, everything is easy and simple, but for children who have just begun to master numbers and counting, everything is very difficult. Any teacher or child psychologist in Moscow will confirm that the most effective way for children to memorize new material is to play math classes.

Find the number math game
For this game you will need:

drawn (printed) numbers on paper from 1 to 9
drawings similar to numbers, objects.

The kid looks at the picture and then guesses what number is hidden in it. Then the mother shows the number 2 and asks the baby to find a picture similar to this number.

“What does the number look like”
Mom asks the child what number the glasses look like, and the baby should show the number 8.

Mathematical game “Guess what the number is”?
Mom reads a poem, the child must name the number that was discussed in the poem, and then find it and show it.

Barely glides on the water,
Like a swan, number two.
Arched her neck,
Drives the waves behind her.

***

Four mice on the mountain
Mixed up all the skis,
And hedgehogs, four brothers,
Helped them figure it out!

***

What a cherry, my friend,
Is the stalk bent up?
You try to eat it,
This cherry is a number ...

Mathematical game “Cardboard Numbers”
For this game, you will need to cut out numbers from cardboard in advance. The kid closes his eyes, takes one cardboard number and guesses by touch what kind of number it is.

Lost Numbers Math Game
Numbers from 1 to 9 are printed on cardboard. Then each of them is cut into two parts. The kid must restore them. If this task is too easy for him, he can complicate it by cutting the numbers into 3, 4 or 6 parts.

“What's on the back”
The baby lies on his stomach, and his mother draws a number on his back with her finger. The baby must guess what this number is.

Preschool Math & Counting

Preschool & Toddler Math Fun
Math for young children is quite a difficult subject and can be difficult to learn at school. In addition, not all children have a mathematical mindset, and not everyone has a natural craving for the exact sciences.

Therefore, developing a preschooler's interest in mathematics at an early age will greatly facilitate his schooling. After all, the modern school curriculum is quite rich and far from simple even for first-graders.

Mastering the skills of counting and the basics of mathematics at home, in a playful and entertaining way, will help him in the future to quickly and easily learn the complex issues of the school course.

Entertaining problems

Preschool Math and Counting Fun

Toddler Playtime 5 to 5 (2yrs 6m)

Make 5 shapes. For example: square, circle, rectangle, triangle, oval. Complete each shape in 5 colors. You will get 25 figures. Then you can expand the amount. Glue the shapes onto cardboard. It is advisable to stick with a sticky film. First lesson: ask the child to lay out all the red figures separately; separately - green, etc. Such an activity can be carried out for a very long time, constantly returning to it. Second lesson: offer to decompose into figures (separately - squares; separately - circles, etc.) Third lesson: lay out the figures in this way: red figures are in front of the child, green ones are behind ...

Household account (1 year 6 months)

Count everything together with the child. We note that, as in most of these activities, you should not start with prodding like “Well, let's count the steps with you!”, But you yourself should count for your own pleasure. At the beginning, your goal is to demonstrate to the child the possibilities of oral counting, to arouse interest in him.
- How many steps.
- How many apples did you buy.
- How many forks are on the table. etc.

Cards (1 year 6 months)

Make cards with numbers (up to 10 at the beginning). Cover them with foil. Learn to put them in order.

Learning zero (2 years)

You can enter zero using the following questions:
- How many cows are in your pocket?
- How many crocodiles do we have at home? etc.

- Put 5 cubes on the table. Take one at a time and ask how much is left. First, 1 cube (4 will remain), then 1 more, etc. Until 0 remains.

Count using verses (1 year 6 months)

Leonid Yakhnin. "Bench". (Draw multi-colored benches or lay them out of geometric shapes and count.)

Vladimir Orlov. “I’m counting” (After reading the poem, invite the child to lay out figures that look like animals or any geometric shapes, then count how many animals live in the zoo)

From the book “Tell poems with your hands” (based on English folklore, translated by V. Egorov)
“Kittens”
(Ask the Child to prepare five geometric figures. While reading the poem, the Child should remove one figure at a time. How many kittens are left in the room?)

Here are five kittens. One left - and he is gone.
Well, he doesn't exist - and he doesn't. There are four kittens left.
Here are four kittens. One at night sometimes
He climbed a tree - there were three kittens left.
But somewhere a little mouse squeaked thinly.
The kitten heard - there are two kittens left.
One of them with a ball disappeared in the doorway without a trace,
And the smartest one is the one left, the last one -
Milk from a bowl began to lap for five.

Curling or stroking fingers (2.5 years)

Who has more. This game can be played with two or three people. To play, you need a cube with dots. Buttons, cones, nuts, etc. can be used as counting material.
Place buttons (nuts) in a vase or box. Now take turns rolling the dice. What number falls out, so many are taken from the vase of objects. When the vase is empty, count who has more. Find a pair. Put 4-5 different toys in front of the child. (cube, ball, matryoshka, bunny…)
Put about the same number of toys aside. Invite your child to find 2 identical toys:
1) by color;
2) according to the form;
3) by size (value).
If the child chooses the wrong toy, place two toys next to each other. Ask: “Is it the same color?” “Is the cube also round?”
Option: The same task, but with pictures.
You should alternate classes with objects and pictures. What has changed? Option 1: develop visual memory.
Place 4-6 toys in front of the child. Count: the first is a Bear, the second is a bunny, etc. Then ask the baby to turn away and swap the two toys. The kid must guess what has changed. Option 2: Further, closer.
Place a house in front of the baby and 3 toys at different distances from it. Determine who is closer to the house, who is farther. Then ask the child to turn away and change the position of 2 toys. “Now who is closer to the house? Who is farther from the house? “Option 3: Above-below.
Place 3-4 cubes of different heights on the table with different toys on them. Find out which toy is higher than all, which is lower. Then ask the child to turn away and swap the two toys. “Which toy is the tallest now?”

Toddler math game

Cut out sets of animal figures or toys, such as dolls, nesting dolls, from construction paper. All figures in the set must be of different sizes and colors. On a sheet of paper, draw houses, also of different sizes.

Bears go for a walk

Ask the child to find the biggest bear and put it first. (underline this concept with intonation: “first”), then find the smallest one. And, finally, we will build according to the growth of all the others. If the child is at a loss, offer to attach one figure to another. When all the figures are lined up in height, come up with names for each character with the baby. Then ask: “who is our second?” Phil. Who is our last, sixth?” - "Motya".

Find a house for each bear

The meaning of the game is the same - arrange objects according to their height and practice counting. First, we arrange the figures according to their height, and then we select the houses for them by size.

Looking for a toy

Take any toy, for example, a teddy bear, tell him that he is looking for a nesting doll that is in front of the blue one (after green, between yellow and red, to the right of blue, to the left of purple). Mastering the concepts of “before”, “after”, “between”, “right”, “left” will help your child navigate the world around him.

Looking for a toy 2

It is worth preparing for this game in advance - put the images of nesting dolls on a large sheet of paper and circle them. First, you can make drawings in one row, and when the baby can easily cope with this task, place the contours on the sheet “in loose”. Tell the baby that each nesting doll has its own place, show the contours of the nesting dolls. But one day, after a walk, the nesting dolls mixed up their places. Invite your child to help them. This game develops the eye well, develops the habit of bringing the work started to the end.

Count, make no mistake!

Helps to master the sequence of natural numbers, exercises in forward and backward counting. The game uses a ball. Children stand in a semicircle. Before starting, they agree in what order (forward or reverse) they will count. Then they throw the ball and call the number. The one who caught the ball continues to count further. The game is played at a fast pace.

Find a toy

The driver leaves the room. At this time, hide the toy. Then the child is explained where to find it: “You need to stand in front of the table, and go 3 steps forward, two steps to the left, etc. ". Children complete the task, find a toy. When the children begin to navigate well, the tasks can be complicated - to give not a description of the location of the toy, but a diagram. According to the scheme, children must determine where the object is hidden.

Getting to know the numbers

You will need counting cards with pictures to play. (you can download zip. above), numbers (on cards or any other), chips.
It is best to play together. Lay out all the cards face up. Put the numbers in the box. Take turns taking the numbers out of the box. The task is to find cards with the corresponding number of items. A chip is placed on the found card. The number is put back in the box.
When the game is over, count who has the most chips. It’s better to do it like this - put the chip in two rows and compare whose row is longer.

Guessing game

Yogurt boxes or plastic cups can be used for this game. Write or stick a number on each cup. Pick up some toy that will fit in the cup.
This game is played by two people. Place cups upside down. One player turns away, and the second at this time hides the toy in one of the cups. The first player must guess under which cup the toy is hidden, and the second must give him hints. For example: the toy is hidden under the cup with the number 5. The player asks: “Under the second?”. - "No more".

Who has the most

This game can be played with two or three people. To play, you need a cube with dots. Buttons, cones, nuts, etc. can be used as counting material.
Place buttons (nuts) in a vase or box. Now take turns rolling the dice. What number falls out, so many are taken from the vase of objects. When the vase is empty, count who has more.

Learning to tell time by the clock

First, let's make a fake watch.
Perfectly made from a cake box, the cake can be eaten. The difficulty is different: many years and many children have led us to the idea that ordinary wall clocks are an unnecessary study load and these activities need to be simplified and done in stages.

First, we make a regular dial, but we leave the minute dashes bare, without defining the number of minutes, and we also abolish the minute hand.
Time is divided into:

• hour,
• just over an hour,
• half past one (or one and a half),
• about two,
• two,
• is a little more than two, and so on.

When this part is over and the child is oriented clockwise with complete confidence, we proceed to work with the minute hand within one hour (60 minutes), but this can also be done in parallel. And do not rush to combine the arrows!

Work with the hour hand can be started in 3.5-4 years, and we see no particular reason to hurry.

Most first-graders are unable to tell the time by looking at clocks with hands. This is a medical fact.

Very often it seems that a child of six or seven years old is about to learn to tell time accurately, but time passes and confusion continues.

It seems to us that this problem is easily explained by the fact that what to connect in the minds of two superimposed dials - hour and minute - for a child's mind is a colossal burden , and a child should not be taught to determine the time by such a clock.

Throw away the minute hand and the division of the dial into minutes. There are 12 digits left and dividing the time by, for example, four, a little more than four, half past five, about five, five, a little more than five. There is plenty of such a rough division of time for a child, and this can be taught starting from four to four and a half years. Let it take a YEAR. Don't force things.

Only when the child perfectly feels the position of the hour hand, very slowly, minute by minute, enter the second parallel dial. Take your time with quarters (Quarter and Quarter), take your time with five minutes, ten minutes, etc. This should be moved to the next, separate stage. Let your wall clock in the room or in the kitchen have only an hour hand for a long time, but the numbers can be changed, Roman numerals can be entered almost immediately.

And if we have long been giving all the concepts and it seems. that victory is near, is it right to go further or still return to the clock face?

We think that the introduction for some time of a dial with only an hour hand will create a correct sense of time in the child and improve his relationship with the clock.

Mosaic of buttons - educational game for children

At the age of 6, innervation occurs in children (the supply of organs and tissues with nerves, which ensures their connection with the central nervous system). The upper phalanges of the fingers (pads) become sensitive.

Why buttons?

Different texture, many colors, shades, sizes and shapes. There is no specified form for the composition. The child develops a sense of space and a sense of color. Button exercises help develop fine motor skills.
You can buy these buttons at any store, and for the first lessons, use the stocks in your home. Surely your closets store clothes that you don't wear. Argue with her buttons and you can start classes.

But the main idea of ​​the “button mosaic” is that by school the child has formed images of the sets 2, 3, 4, 5. To do this, even before the age of six, the child needs to play enough to fix the images of the sets through objects. This should be done only through the real world, not informationally (cartoons and books), but through sensory perception: tactility, tangibility, smell, etc. Interaction with an object (a kitten, a chair, a toy car, etc.) is much more emotional, so the images are brighter and are fixed clearly.

How many eyes? Two. And the ear? Two. Show two fingers. And the cat's paws? Four.

In no case should you count, just call - four.

When the images are fixed, i.e. the child easily shows 2,3,4 without counting, you can proceed to operate with sets on the fingers or on any other counting material. How else can you show four? Two and two. There are five fingers on the hand. And if you break it into two groups, into three? How else can you show three and three? It's five and one. And the more options are played, the more clearly the images of the sets are fixed in the child. How can you divide 10? Again looking for different options.

Large bones, nuts, stones, etc. can be used. An ideal occupation is to sort out cereals by 3 grains, by 2, by 4. Quite semantic and useful activity. You can also divide a large amount of something into sets. A dozen is enough for the school to easily give an oral count of four-digit numbers (without resorting to counting in a column), and the multiplication table - you don’t have to cram. It is easily assimilated with the skill of operating with images of sets within oneself. When a child lays out his patterns, drawings from buttons, he involuntarily works with images of sets. Mosaic of buttons is a very useful educational game for children.

The rationale for choosing a topic:

Who from childhood is engaged in mathematics, he develops attention, trains his brain, his will, educates perseverance and perseverance in achieving the goal.

A. Markushevich

Therefore, my pedagogical practice is aimed at solving issues of developing interest in mathematics in accordance with the new requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard.

From an early age, children learn everything that will be necessary in their future life. One of the most important skills is the ability to solve problems, because a person meets with them (everyday, educational, industrial) every day and at every step.

Who will learn to solve simple problems, starting with mathematical (and they “put in order”), he will then be able to find answers to others, more complex and difficult. Entertaining games, tasks for ingenuity, puzzles, arouse great interest in children. Children can, without being distracted, practice for a long time in transforming figures, shifting sticks or other objects according to a given pattern, according to their own plan. A Chinese proverb says: “Tell me and I will forget, Show me and I will remember, Let me try and I will understand.” In the classes on the formation of elementary mathematical representations, important qualities of the child are formed: independence, resourcefulness, quick wit, observation, perseverance is developed, constructive skills are developed. It is known that many children experience some difficulties in mastering mathematical knowledge. Preschool children do not know at all that mathematics is a very difficult discipline. Let the children not see that they are being taught something. Let them think they are only playing.

Purpose of my work: the development of mathematical representations in children with disabilities (TNR) through entertaining classes.

I determined the range of tasks that I set myself for the formation of elementary mathematical concepts in preschool children.

Educational:

• Identification of the level of formation of mathematical concepts in children.
• Formation of ideas about arithmetic operations.
• To instill interest in solving entertaining problems with mathematical meaning.

Correction-developing:

• Development of mental operations, visual perception, logical thinking and attention.
• Development of speech activity, speech hearing.
• Development of skills to quickly and clearly answer the questions.

Educational:

• Education of activity, initiative, interaction skills in

learning and play activities.

• Raise interest in mathematics.

The effectiveness of the implementation of teaching practice largely depends on the form of work on the development of mathematical concepts:

• organization of educational activities (in accordance with the study schedule).
• joint activities in regime moments.
• Leisure activities (competitions, competitive games, quests, etc.)
• guessing riddles, solving comic problems, entertaining questions.
• independent activities of children.

- from methods of work on the development of mathematical representations:

• verbal (explanation, conversation, etc.).
• visual (handout, illustrations, etc.).
• practical (mental activities, riddles, didactic games and exercises, etc.).
• gaming (moving and movement games, etc.).

Expected results:

• development of children's interest in mathematics and overcoming difficulties in solving mathematical problems;
• positive dynamics of monitoring on the formation of elementary mathematical concepts in children of senior preschool age;
• formation in children of senior preschool age of operations of logical thinking (analysis, classification, generalization), attention;
• formation of elementary mathematical concepts in children with the help of entertaining material;
• application of mathematical knowledge and skills by children in independent activities.

"Hurry up, don't make a mistake" (competition of the savvy)

Purpose: To stimulate the development of mental abilities, curiosity, cognition.

Tasks:

Educational: updating children's counting skills, improving the ability to recognize and distinguish geometric shapes.

Correction-developing: development of mental operations, development of coordination of speech with movement, development of fine motor skills, attention.

Educational: education of a positive attitude to participate in the competition, education of activity, independence.

1. Organizational moment:

Educator: Guys, today we will have a competition of smart, resourceful. In order to win it, you must be very careful and not be distracted. To that of the children who correctly and quickly completes the task, guesses the riddle, I will give a distinctive sign - a red circle. At the end of the competition, each of the children will count the circles, and we will find out which of you is the winner.

2. Main part

Educator: Guys, and now the first task is “Guess the riddle”

Two twins, two brothers sit on horseback on their noses. (Glasses.)

I stand on four legs, but I can’t walk at all. (Table.)

Two mothers have 5 sons. (Fingers.)

This horse does not eat oats, instead of legs there are 2 wheels. Sit on horseback and race on it,

Only better drive! (Bicycle.)

They put me on two fingers and cut what I need. (Scissors.)

5 brothers - all have the same name. (Fingers.)

(Children get a red circle for each correct answer.)

Educator: And now the guys have the following task for you with counting sticks: 1. Count 8 sticks. Make a checkbox out of them. The stick at the flag consists of 2 counting sticks.

2. Divide a rectangle of 6 sticks with one stick into two 2 equal squares.

(The one who completed the task first among the children is encouraged).

Educator: And now, guys, we will stand in a circle and play the game: “Who is more?” (The teacher invites the children to answer the question who is bigger?)

• a small elephant or a big mouse;
• small hippopotamus or large ant;
• little donkey or big bunny;
• small giraffe or large fox.

.0055

Educator: Guys, you need to look at the objects, compare them with each other and find the extra one. Whoever guesses will come up to me and say so that other children will not hear. (After most of the children highlight the extra item, the teacher should ask: “Why do you think that among all the items there is an extra notebook?” (Children's answers).

Educator: Guys, and now, before the next task, I suggest you do finger gymnastics : “How big is our family.”

How big is our family Children perform handclaps and

yes cheerful: alternate beats.

Two are standing by the bench, bending their thumbs.

Two people want to learn, They bend their index fingers.

Two Stepans with sour cream . . . Bend the middle fingers.

They overeat,

Two Dashas at the porridge bend their ring fingers.

They eat.

Two Ulkas in the cradle Curl little fingers.

Swinging. Russian folk song

Educator: And now guys for you the next task is "Logical task" (The teacher distributes sheets of paper with a logical task depicted on it. ) Guys, you must add the missing figure. (The tasks of those sitting next to each other are different.) (See Appendix 1)

Educator: Guys, here is the last task for everyone - joke tasks. (The teacher warns the guys not to rush into the answer, think it over before.)

1. There were 3 glasses of berries on the table. Vova ate 1 glass of berries and put it on the table. How many glasses are on the table? (3)
2. 3 candles were lit in the room. Then one of them was extinguished. How many candles are left? (One, two others burned down.)
3. 3 people were waiting for the train for 3 hours. How long did each one wait? (3 hours.) (Those who don't make mistakes are rewarded.)

Reflection.

Educator: Guys, you are all great today! Now we will count the points and find out who we have the most savvy!

Journey to Wonderland

Tasks:

Educational: Improving the skills of orientation on the plane and space, the formation of counting skills, learn to make the number five out of two smaller ones.

Correction-developing: development of mental operations.

Educational: nurturing a positive attitude to participate in the game, skills of cooperation, interaction, activity.

Preliminary work: The children were divided into two teams in advance, the captains were chosen, the names of the teams "Talking Cricket", "Turtle Tortilla" were invented, the flags awarded to the teams for completing tasks were prepared.

1. Organizational moment.

Educator: Today we are going on an unusual journey with you. We are going to visit Wonderland. But for this we need to free Pinocchio, who was closed in the house by Karabas - Barabas. The team that will not be afraid of difficulties, overcome all obstacles, show dexterity and ingenuity will win. So, we set off on a journey in search of Pinocchio.

2.Main part.

Educator: Guys, here is a maze in front of us. Many roads lead to the house, but only one can lead to it. Let's find this road, maybe Pinocchio is hidden in this house. Let 1 person from each team go to search.

(A child who has found the way to the house takes out two letters. At the bottom of each envelope is written: “To the kindergarten children from Pinocchio’s friends.”

Envelopes are given to the teacher. The teacher opens one envelope and reads.)

Educator: Guys, Pinocchio's friends sent us a letter with riddles. There are quite a lot of them - 6. How many riddles should I guess for each team so that it is evenly divided. (Children's answers.) So the Talking Firefly team, listen and guess the riddles!

- “On a large sofa in a row

Tanins dolls are:

2 nesting dolls, Pinocchio,

and cheerful Chipartlino.

Help Tanya

Count toys. (4)

- This horse does not eat oats, instead of legs there are two wheels. Sit on horseback and ride on it,

just drive better. (Bicycle)

- They put me on two fingers and cut what I need. (Scissors)

And now the riddles for the Turtle Tortila team:

- - Tanya's toys are standing in a row on the shelf.

Next to the monkey is a teddy bear.

Next to the fox are a hedgehog and a frog.

How many toys does Tanya have. (5)

- We always walk together, like brothers. We dine under the table, and at night under the bed. (Boots or sandals).

- Two mothers have five sons. (Fingers).

(For each correct answer, the children receive flags.)

Educator: Guys, now let's have a little rest and play, the mobile exercise "My ball". (The teacher invites the children to go to the carpet. The children do the exercise.)

Friend is funny, my ball, children perform four jumps

on socks, holding their hands on the belt.

Everywhere, everywhere he is with me. Two strokes with each hand, as

would strike the ball.

One, two, three, four, five, five toe jumps, holding

Hands on belt.

Good to play with the ball. Two strokes with each hand, as

V. Volin would strike the ball.

Educator: Everyone coped with this task, well done! Now let's see what is in the next envelope. (The teacher finds in the envelope 2 plans “Where to look for Pinocchio.” Both teams go in search of Pinocchio. They find houses with locks hanging on the doors. In order to open the door, you need to pick up the key to the lock. The lock and key are made of cardboard. She wins a team that can complete the task faster. Pinocchio is found in one of the houses, the next envelope is found in the other house).

Educator: Well done guys, they coped and coped with this task. But this task was invented for you by Malvina. The game is called "Make a picture of Pinocchio." This is a relay game, I will put the parts from which we will make a picture. Each team member takes 1 piece, puts it down and returns to its place. The team that completes the task faster and more correctly will win. (The winning team will receive a flag.)

Educator: Guys, and now we will see the next task “The answer is one, but there are many examples” - who prepared it for you - the fox Alice and the cat Basilio. “Pinocchio had 5 gold coins. And you guys, make up the number 5 from cards with circles in different ways. ”(Children complete the task, make circles so that when added they become 5).

Educator: And now we have a competition for captains "Who is attentive."

Tasks for captains:

• Compare two drawings and fill in as many squares as there are differences.
• How many squares did you fill in?(4). (Appendix 2)

Reflection.

Educator: So our journey to the camp of Miracles and adventures has ended. Now we will count how many flags the teams received and find out the winners.

"Journey to the City of Mathematics"

(Mathematical leisure evening)

Tasks:

Educational: learn to solve a logical problem, guess a mathematical riddle, teach ordinal counting. Improving the ability to recognize and distinguish flat geometric figures.

Correction-developing: the development of mental operations, speech activity, the ability to solve problem situations.

1. Organizational moment: (Children stand in a circle.)

Educator: In a wide circle, I see,

We will now go to the right

And now we will go to the left.

. . . We will gather in the center of the circle,

. . .

Let's smile, wink.

And let's start playing again.

2. Main part.

Educator: You guys will soon become schoolchildren. And in order to study well at school, you need to know a lot, be able to guess. Today I invite you to go on a Journey to the City of Mathematics. Today we will solve unusual tasks, perform tasks for ingenuity and ingenuity. And I propose to go on our journey on a carpet-airplane. While we are flying, I offer you a "Mental warm-up"

8. How many colors does the rainbow have?
9. You and I, and we are with you. How many of us?
10. If the right hand is on the right, then the left .... (on the left).

Educator: Well, guys, you and I landed in the city of Mathematics.

And there are unusual houses in this city. And now I offer you the task "Find an unusual house." (In front of the children on the table are houses in the form of geometric shapes - quadrangles and one hexagon. Children must determine which house is unusual and why.)

Educator: The inhabitants of this city are resourceful and savvy. Now let's see, and you are just as resourceful and savvy. I suggest you solve the logical problem "Find what is different."

(On the table of the table on which the graphic task is depicted, the children determine how they differ.) (see Appendix 2) page 62

Educator: What a great fellow you are! Everyone did it! And now I suggest you take a break and play the game "Counters". (Children stand in a circle and begin to pass the ball to the cheerful music, whoever has the ball left after the music stops answers the question asked by the teacher. For example: count from 4 to 9, count from 6 to 10, comprehend from 5 to 9, name the neighbors number 3, name the neighbors of number 6, name the neighbors of number 9etc.)

Educator: Well done guys! And all the inhabitants of this wonderful city are able to solve problems. They have prepared interesting tasks for you. Solve them.

1. How many ears do 3 mice have?
2. How many paws does 2 cubs have?
3. A seagull warmed up the kettle,

Invited nine seagulls.

"Come all for tea!"

How many seagulls answer!

4. The apples are ripe in the garden.

We tasted them

Five ruddy, poured,

Three with sourness.

How many?

5. Rada Alyonka -

Found two oil cans!

Yes, four in a basket!

How many mushrooms are in the basket?

6. Well, how many of all the guys

Riding on the mountain?

Three are sitting in a sleigh,

One is waiting.

Educator: Well done guys! And now we need to go back to kindergarten! While we are flying, I propose to play the True or False game. I will call what happens and if I call it right, you clap your hands, and if it’s not right, you shake your head.

Seven is one more than six. After Saturday comes Sunday.

There are five days in a week. Monday is followed by Wednesday.

An egg looks like a circle. Thursday comes before Friday.

Reflection.

Educator: Dear children, today we made a trip to the wonderful city of Mathematics. Did you like it? (Children's answers) I suggest you tell your parents about our journey.

"Where does the Hedgehog live?"

Purpose: to help find a map that will show the way to the Hedgehog's house.

Tasks:

Educational: Improving the skills of quantitative counting within ten, constructive skills. Formation of temporary representations (parts of the day). Improving the skills of orientation on the plane.

Correction-developing: development of logical thinking, visual perception and attention.

Educational: education of independence, activity, initiative, cooperation skills.

1. Organizational moment:

Educator: Good morning, guys! I invite you to the quest! Do you know what it is? (Answers of children). Guys, the quest - translated from English is "task", "search", "hike". Do you want to go hiking? But look what is this? (The teacher picks up the letter and reads: “Dear guys! I got lost and can’t find my way to my house. Please help me get home. Hedgehog.”) Guys, help the Hedgehog! And how can we do it? We need to find a map and on it the Hedgehog will be able to find the way to his house. Who do you think can help us? (Answers, guesses of children). Of course, the Hedgehog's friends who live with him in the forest will help us.

And so on the road! 1.2.3. we came to the magical forest.

2. Stage. Traveling through zones and completing game tasks.

Educator: Guys, look. There is a letter on the table near Squirrel's toy, and there is a task in it. Need to give a quick answer, are you ready or not? Didactic exercise "Quick answer"

what number follows the number 5?

what number comes before the number 3?

what number is hidden between 5 and 7?

what day of the week is today?

what is the name of the first working day?

what day of the week after Wednesday?

what is the fifth day of the week?

What are the days off called?

what season comes after spring?

which month comes after April?

Educator: Well done guys! We completed the Squirrel's task and she gives us a hint. Let's go further. Near Lisa's toy lies a letter, and in it is a task: the game "Fold the figure." (The teacher distributes geometric shapes to the children and invites everyone to put together the image

Chanterelles. Children complete the task and receive an envelope with a hint)

Educator: And you coped with this task, well done! Let's go further. The next task is from the Bear, which the children meet further. Task “We count and reason”

Educator: Guys, I will help you too. You count the number of figures on the card, and I will raise the number and the one who has the same number of figures will raise the card. (Children complete the task and get a hint)

Educator: Guys, now I suggest you have some rest and play. Mobile exercise "Day". (The teacher invites the children to the center of the group room and offers to complete the exercise).

The sun is shining brightly in the sky, Children walk in a circle one after another.

Children go out for a walk -

Top, top, top, top. Jump on both feet. Bend

fingers on both hands, starting from

large.

Titmouse tinkle loudly, perform body turns,

Little birds, small, - Hands held on the belt. Fold over

Shadow, shadow, shadow, shadow. fingers on both hands, starting with

large.

Just think for a minute, Rhythmically raise and lower

What time of day is this? shoulders.

Day, day, day, day. They jump on both legs, bent

fingers on both hands, starting with

large.

Educator: And here are our old friends. But this time they offer you to build a three-story house for them. Different animals should live on each floor. And on each floor, the windows should be located in their own way. Try to build a house all together. (Children lay out figures, “build” a house.)

Educator: Excellent! You have completed the task. But what does it take to complete a house?

Children: We need to make a roof

Educator: What shape should it be

Children: Triangular.

(The teacher offers triangles of different sizes. Children select the right size triangle and after that they receive a hint.)

Stage 3. Final goal.

Educator: Let's open the envelopes and look at the clues. (Box, red, balls). Here is the map. She will help the Hedgehog to return home. And we need to go back to kindergarten. Let's say - 1.2.3.4.5. Again in the group we are again.

Conclusions.

After working on the formation of elementary mathematical concepts, I concluded that the effective assimilation of knowledge in preschool children is facilitated by playing techniques. The use of a variety of entertaining games and exercises allows children to more confidently approach the discovery of new and consolidate the already studied material.

Unbeknownst to themselves, during the game, preschoolers add, count, solve various logical problems. It is interesting for children, they love to play.

In the classes on the formation of elementary mathematical representations, the use of game techniques made it possible to achieve a high level of knowledge of children.
