50 Hands-on Math Activities for Preschool and Kindergarten

April 24, 2024 • Treehouse Schoolhouse

In my experience, introducing math concepts to children can either be incredibly frustrating or inspiring. 

Math is everywhere in our daily lives, and inviting children into learning in a natural and organic way is the best first step to life-long journey of understanding and appreciating mathematics. I feel math can be especially enriching when the concepts are integrated with real life experiences. 

In my family, we have one child who has been particularly interested in math from a young age, but I wanted to respect his development and did not want to jump the gun on formal academics too soon. I wanted to incorporate numbers and math practices, but in a gentle and inviting way.

For young children interested in math, what can we offer for learning while still keeping it gentle and interactive? 

In this blog post:

Introducing math with a gentle invitation

Math concepts for the early years, hands-on math activities for the early years.

During the early years, such as preschool or kindergarten, my focus is to develop a love for literature, give lots of time for unstructured play, and develop the habit of attention. These are the elements I nurture during these years, not academics. 

Related:   Homeschool Preschool: Five Intentions for the Early Years

When my children show signs of readiness for formal learning, I invite them into our homeschool. All four of my children come together most days to study the Bible as a family , participate in Morning Time and nature study , and read together with picture books or during our read-alouds. I do not push academics until my children are ready.  If it seems like  they  are not engaged  with the subject matter , I do not  push  it .   I believe that  children will respond better to learning when they are ready.  

When I introduce concepts like number recognition or counting , we do it playfully .  Regardless of what my children grasp, it is a  special  time together when we are learning side-by-side.

I also introduce more formal learning in short bursts of time. For example, my kindergarten-aged son may spend 10-15 minutes writing numbers or playing a game, and  that’s  it. During the day, we may lightly touch on math topics we encounter. For example, we may measure  ingredients together as I prepare  breakfast,  or count the rocks he collects when he plays outside. While our  “ formal ”  learning periods may be brief, we teach and explore math naturally as it presents itself in our daily activities.

For a peek into our homeschool day at this stage, watch the YouTube video below:

Related:   Homeschool Kindergarten: Daily Rhythm, Schedule, and Curriculum

While academics are not my priority, when my children are ready to introduce concepts like the alphabet or numbers , I love to do it through hands-on play .  

Children between ages 3 and 6 often start learning about math by learning the names of numbers 1-10 and then progressing to other ideas like counting and grouping. 

Other concepts children can learn at this age include recognizing numbers, identifying more and less of a quantity, and understanding one-to-one correspondence, like matching sets or knowing the  quantity  of each group.  They can also learn to  identify  shapes and perform simple addition.

As children explore numbers and math in various ways, it helps develop a  strong,  foundational number sense. As children learn, they begin to  develop  a framework to understand and organize numbers and number relationships, which can underscore their mathematical learning for years to come.

Much like  the way  we encounter literature, I believe math learning and practice at this age is just a way to expose children to new concepts and empower them to learn.

My favorite way to introduce math to my children is through tactile, hands-on learning. I think this format is ideal for children at this age who may not sit still or focus for long  periods,  and are still learning the motor skills of handwriting. Here are some  of the  ways I like to do this with my children.
