5 Ways To Keep Kindergarten Math Skills Sharp During The Summer

by Jenn

I don’t remember a whole lot about kindergarten but I do remember taking naps and playing a lot.  I am almost certain we were not doing math so it caught me by surprise to see Mattie doing math in kindergarten.  WOW, if that wasn’t an eye opener.  I even remember thinking how important it was going to be to keep up with her math skills during the summer!  So I thought I would share a few awesome ways you can keep kindergarten math skills sharp during the summer months.

  • Counting – This is always fun, my kids have always enjoyed counting  100 of something (noodles, popcorn, beads, etc.), drawing a picture representing 100, and gluing on all 100 items.
  • Number recognition flash cards – Flash cards are not only a great for number recognition, they are super fun for both you and your child.
  • Candy math – Who said addition and subtraction can’t be fun and sweet!  Use candy to practice adding and subtracting with your children.  Of course, when they get it right they should get a piece of candy.
  • Lego patterns – My youngest daughter LOVES building things, Legos have always been a huge part of her life.  They have taught many different things, but the first was about patterns.  It’s something she learned on her own that I picked up on and decided to take a step further.  She would use white then blue Legos to build her building, and I would ask her to toss a red one into the mix.  She picked up on it rather quickly, even now and then I would have to ask her what color came next.  She would go back through every color and almost always get it right.
  • Math Apps – There are some great apps out there to help our kids with math, but kindergarten math might be a little trickier to find.  Until now that is because Zap Zap Kindergarten Math just launched their new mobile first application with educational math games exclusively for our kindergarteners.
