Adding a seasonal spin to classroom learning makes it a little more fun for everyone, so here are some fall math activities to get younger kids engaged in learning the basics.
Make fun fall shapes like an apple, a scarecrow and an acorn using snap cubes, then count the number of each color used in the design. Get the pattern cards from 123 Homeschool 4 Me and kids will get practice following instructions, sorting colors and counting.
Or use cubes to practice one-to-one correspondence with a pumpkin twist with this pumpkin stacking towers activity from Fun Learning for Kids. Here kids match the number of cubes in each stack to the number on the pumpkin. There are printable options with numerals and dots that kids can use to practice addition while they build their towers.
These apple counting printables from Teaching 2 and 3 Year Olds are another way to practice one-to-one correspondence while learning to count to 10. Kids can use red pompoms or buttons to cover up each apple on the tree as they count them.
The Keeper of the Memories has a printable pumpkin seed counting clip card activity where kids can count the number of seeds in the pumpkin and clip a clothespin to the correct answer (numbers 0 to 10 are included).
