included: Patterns, Counting, Graphing, and Sizing/Ordering
Math Activities:
Heart Patterns
We used both stickers and stamps to work on patterning. We worked on AB, ABC, and ABCD patterns.
Simple AB Patterning with heart stickers
Stamp Patterning - again I bought the stamps & stickers from Oriental Trading and it's been a great buy! The Lil Divas have used them ALOT!
Conversation Hearts Counting & Graphing Activity
The Lil Divas really enjoyed this activity!
I found great templates for this activity at PreKinders.com.

Sorting & Counting the Candy Hearts
Graphing the results
The Finished Graph
we discussed which color they had the most,
the least & which was their fave
(I let them sample 1 of each color)
For this activity I bought a bag of SweetTarts Hearts (they are my fave!) and then cut out twelve hearts from red constuction paper and numbered them from 1 to 12.
I mixed up the hearts, put them in a pile and turned them upside down.
The Lil Divas took turns picking a card from the top of the pile, identifying the number and placing the correct number of SweetTart Hearts on it.
Of course, they had to eat some after we were all for doing such a great job! :)
We also found a cute

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm now following you too :)
ReplyDeleteI have a 6 year old daughter and 2 year old son and my daughter LOVES to make patterns! I think it's something that she really does well and totally understands so she does it more then other activities that are more difficult for her. It seems to boost her confidence quite a bit. I'll have to pick up some conversation hearts and we can do some sorting. I looked through your blog and it looks like you have quite a few awesome activities my kiddos would enjoy. I think maybe we'll do the shaving cream drawing tonight since we have that on hand.
I look forward to reading more of your blog!
Stopping by to say hello. Your daughter's are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of your weekend!
