Shapes All Around

Kids master basic shapes with simple doodles! On a piece of paper, draw a circle, saying its name aloud. Help your child copy the shape. Can your child find a circle somewhere in the room (for example, a clock, the lid to a container, etc.)? Now continue the same activity with other shapes, including a square, rectangle and triangle.

Once children have grasped these basic shapes, move on to more difficult ones—including ovals, diamonds, stars and more!

Math Cookies

Bake your favorite cookies, allowing your child to help measure all of the ingredients. Be sure to use units of measurement and math words, such as “more” and “less.”

Once the dough is finished, make cookies in a variety of different shapes—including triangles, squares, rectangles and more. Be sure to discuss what each shape looks like. How many sides and corners does it have?

When the cookies are done baking, have your child count up the cookies. How many are there of each shape? Which shape has the most? The least? You can even make a graph of your yummy treats.

Tic-Tac-Toe Math

Play a classic game-with a mathematical twist!

Preparation

Draw a tic-tac-toe game board with a math problem in each square.
Draw and cut out five “X” and four “O” squares. Each square should be about the same size as the squares on the tic-tac-toe board.

Directions

Players take turns picking a square and solving the problems.
Cover each correct answer with an “X” or an “O.”
The first player to get three in a row wins!
