Ideas to try at home!
· Practice skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, 10’s and 20’s
· Use an analog clock and a digital clock to figure out the time. Children should be able to tell time to the nearest 5 minutes. (2:25, 2:30, 2:35, etc.)
· Calendar activities: “What month is 2 months after March?” “What day of the week is May 10th?” “What is the 3rd Tuesday in August?”
· Practice identifying coins and their values. Using their own money, have your child count and decide if they have enough to make a certain purchase.
· Have your child figure out the “fair share” of candy, snacks, food, etc. when splitting it between 2 or more people. This sharpens counting, adding, subtracting, and sometimes, fraction skills
