Our puppet Quinn has the mystery number clues in a little pouch. In the morning, we welcome each other to school with our good morning song, then find out who the child of the day is and then the mystery number.
This little game is part of my circle time routine. Mystery Number – Playful Daily Math for Preschool
You can make your own or use the ones I have created. These short math games like roll & write for letter formation and mystery box for letter sounds don’t take up much time, but they help build the skills and work!įirst of all, I use the same printable cards for all three of these games. I introduce letter sounds sequentially, I introduce letter formation sequentially, and with the three Prek math games I’m sharing today, I do the same for numbers and subitizing. I don’t do a ton of planned instruction with scope and sequence.
The thing is, is that in preschool, we primarily look to target instruction through play, assess what our students know, and then help create an environment that allows them to explore building on their skills. Still, I needed some more explicit math instruction that allowed me to insert a little scope and sequence, so I felt more assured that my students had ample exposure and experience with some math skills. These Prek math games were exactly what my class needed! Last year I felt like my math activities were strong for small groups and free choice.
