As adults we tend to complicate things. Always remember that “Keep it Simple” applies to children & preschoolers more than it does to us as adults or teens and those who are more advanced in learning.

This Is All You Need To Do For This Preschool Learning & Preschool Math Activity:

Use common items you can find around the house to teach preschool & early learning math. Items that are more familiar to your child or preschooler will work best for teaching.

Try and use simple items that look the same, as this will also help with grouping and sorting activities.

I am going to use 'apples' and 'oranges' in my description of this pre school math activity, but feel free to use whatever items you desire.

The age of the child will make a difference on how many items are used for this math activity.

**I am going to use an 'example' with a child who is around 4 - 5 years of age.**

Simple Adding & Subtracting: Pre K Math

Preschool Math - Subtracting:

Line up 4 apples and let the preschooler or child count them. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Take one away and put it behind your back.

Now ask the preschooler or child to count the apples. 1, 2, 3. Then explain what was done.

We had 4 apples and we took one away, so now we only have, 3.

Ask the preschooler or child to count them again.

Do the Same with Adding:

Put 3 apples out and ask the child or preschooler to count them.

Then add two apples and ask the child or preschooler to count them.

Explain that adding two apples to the three apples that you had equals 5.

Depending on the numbers that your child(ren) can count up to, you can add more items to the preschool math activity.

This simple preschool math activity can be done every day or a few times a week.

Make sure there are not many distractions around when doing this activity so all of their attention is focused. You can do this activity individually or as a group, or even a circle activity if you teach a preschool class.

Sorting and Grouping Activity:

This preschool child's learning activity is a great one. It gets your children's little minds working and they have so much fun all at the same time.

Get 3 pieces of paper and color one large circle on each. Make sure each paper has a different color.

Then get 3 groups of items.

Make sure each group matches one of the colors on the piece of paper.

Then ask the child or preschooler to sort them related to color.

Math Activity Example #1:

One paper has a red circle on it, one has blue, and the other has brown.

I would set out a bunch of red pom poms, blue popsicle sticks, and brown crayons.

Then I would say, put all the red things on the paper with the red circle, all the blue things with the blue circle etc.

Math Activity Example #2:

Put out two empty containers on a table.

Put a bunch of crayons and markers all mixed together in the middle of the table.

Ask the child(ren) to put all the markers in one container and the crayons in another.

Everything I have mentioned in the adding, subtracting, and sorting/grouping activities can be altered anyway you wish.

Add more items, use different items, sort by size, shape, feel, temperature.

You can turn any activity into a small math lesson for children.

*Even cleaning up the preschool classroom can be turned into a preschool or early learning math activity for kids.

Preschool Math - Cleaning Up Examples:

How many buckets of toys did we clean up?

Or, How many chairs do we have around the table?

How many children are here today?

If 'Marisa' went home, how many children would be left?

The possibilities are endless for this simple Preschool Math Activity and other preschool math ideas.

Make math fun for preschoolers, they will become better, faster learners if we make it fun and easy.

Let’s give them a head start towards early math skills and learning.

*To add numbers into the sorting activities, ask the child(ren) or preschoolers to count as they sort through the items and put them where they belong.
