Early Math Project

Here are a few FUN ideas to help your child write numerals:

• Spread sand or glitter in a tray; have your child write each numeral 0-9.

• Using the numeral cards included below, have your child glue yarn onto the form of the numeral; alternatives: glitter, string, cotton wool, or small rocks.

• Use pipe cleaners, modeling dough, or clay to form the numerals.

• Use finger paint to write the numerals on giant paper.

• Use a large paint brush and water to paint the numerals

  on the sidewalk or driveway.

• Trace each numeral on sand paper and have your child cut

  them out and glue them on larger paper. Your child can

  outline each numeral with brightly colored markers.

• Spread shaving cream on a plate or tray and have your

  child write each numeral with their finger in the shaving

  cream.

• Read a math-y story out loud (for example Ten Eggs in a Nest by Marilyn Sadler) and when you read a number, have the child write the number on paper.

• Make pancakes in the shape of the numerals.
