Fall Math Activities for Kids

There are so many fun themes you can bring to the classroom in the fall, from apples and leaves to pumpkins, acorns, candy corn, witch hats…

Let’s stick to the earlier parts of fall for this roundup of fun fall themed math activities for kids.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has printable playdough mats that allow kids to count, trace the numbers 1-10, spell out the words and build the numbers with dough. Add buttons or other small objects as leaves for the trees they can count as they go.

Understanding patterns is a great basic for understanding math, and these repeating pattern printable cards from Taming Little Monsters are super cute as well as educational. There are six pages with four different patterns on each page and you can use them at home or in a math center at school. Or try the dot dabbing repeating pattern apple page from Tot Schooling, which uses different colors of apples in a row so kids can complete the pattern with dot markers.

Practice one-to-one correspondence with the leaf number tower activity from Fun Learning for Kids. This one uses domino style shapes with dots and kids build towers with cubes to the same height as the numbers on the leaf. That makes it a good fine motor skill activity, too.

Match the numbers on leaves to the numbers on the trees with this leaf number sorting activity from A Dab of Glue Will Do. This is a great one for the math center, and you could also use pom poms or other manipulatives to add “leaves” to the trees if you want.

That’s a similar idea to these printable tree math mats (which could be used other times of year, too) from The Kindergarten Connection. Write a simple math problem at the bottom (or roll a die to get the numbers) that kids can solve by adding or subtracting leaves. You could also use acorns, pom poms, buttons or any other little small thing you have handy.

Play a math game with apples from Playdough to Plato and kids can practice graphing and counting to see which apple comes out on top.

Older kids can practice multiplication with these color by math facts pages from Math with Raven. These are perfect for third and fourth graders learning their multiplication tables, as they will color all the problems with the same solution the same color to reveal the fall leaves.

Georgia is a state in the United States, of course, but Georgia is also the name of a country that was formerly part of the Soviet Union and now is considered part of Europe. Let’s learn more about the country of Georgia.

Georgia Basics

Georgia is situated on the Black Sea and bordered by Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is home to almost 4 million people, most of whom live in the capital, Tbilisi.

The country is 26,900 square miles, or 69,700 square kilometers.

People have lived in the area now known as Georgia since prehistoric times. It requested support from Russia to defend against hostile neighbors in the early 1800s, which led to Russia slowly annexing their land. Though they were briefly free after the Russian Revolution, the country was part of the Soviet Union until 1991. Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 and still occupies regions of the country.

The word Georgia referring to the region was first seen on an Italian map in 1320, but there’s a lot of debate as to where the word came from.

The majority of people living in Georgia today are Georgians, and they speak Georgian, an indigenous language that is apparently unrelated to any other language family in the world. Most people there practice Georgian Orthodox Christianity.

Georgia is a representative democracy with a president and prime minister, as well as a parliament.

Georgia National Symbols

The Georgian flag has a white background with a large red cross and a smaller red cross in each quadrant made by the big cross. It’s also known as the Five Cross Flag and was a symbol of the Kingdom of Georgia that was repopularized in the late 20th century, though it didn’t become the official national flag until 2004.

The national anthem is “Tavisupleba” or “Freedom,” which was also approved in 2004. The music was adapted from two Georgian operas.

The coat of arms features a lion on each side of a shield with an image of St. George, with a crown above that. The ribbon includes the national motto, which, translated to English, is “Strength is in unity.”

St George is the patron saint of Georgia. (Check out crafts and activities for St. George’s Day.)

This one is for the parents, but you might want to learn more about the history of wine making in Georgia, which is considered the birthplace of wine making. Evidence of grapes and grape seeds in the region dates back to 6000 BCE.

Georgia is so proud of its wine making history the the famous Mother of Georgia statue in Tbilisi holds a sword in one hand and a cup of wine in the other.

Check out this tour of Tbilisi from a local.

It’s a little tricky to search for Georgia specific activities and get the nation, not the state, but this list from Teachers Pay Teachers is pretty good after the first one.

Khachapuri, a Georgian cheese bread, is a popular dish that kids should love. Try this recipe from the Kitchn.
