Yesterday I posted about the math mats we used. Kids can discover all kinds of math concepts through play. Here are a few recent posts about math play.Sorting Pumpkin Seeds (Teach Preschool) - Deborah's kids explored pumpkin seeds in a variety of ways. They sorted colored seeds - I like the idea of coloring the seeds.
Measuring Play Dough Inchworms (Teach Preschool) - Deborah made some homemade rulers for her kids to use. The homemade rulers are new to me but I like how flat they are so the inchworms lay easily on top of them.
Sorting Fun (Nurture Store) - Kids can sort all kinds of things I like the collection of objects that Christie used for sorting. The shadow box sorting box is a cool idea, too.
Making Maths Sticks (I'm a Teacher, Get me Outside Here) - Juliet is creating quite a collection of measuring sticks. I think I need to go searching among the trees near my house now.
Here are a couple of favorite math posts from Brick by Brick--
