Mermaid Math: práctica divertida de matemáticas para preescolar y prejardín de infantes

Please join me for a magical math adventure. In this one-time class, students will explore early math concepts mermaid style. This class is engaging and interactive. Students are more than welcome to come dressed up as a mermaid. Students will practice counting up to 10 items using a ten frame, writing numbers 0-10, and building basic shapes all with a little bit of mermaid magic. We will begin the class with introductions. 

Ten Frame SeaShell Counting
Students will be introduced to a ten frame. Students will be provided with a ten frame handout prior to class. Please have this printed. A sheet protector will allow your child use it again and again. We will count the 10 boxes together. Students will be guided to use seashells to fill up the spaces on the ten frame. Students will build numbers on their ten frames using seashells while the teacher also builds the number as a visual aid. 

Number Writing in Sand Tray
Sand tray writing is a very engaging and fun activity for kiddos. It also helps further fine motor skill development. The teacher will show numbers using colorful flash cards. We will talk about the numbers. Students will practice writing the numbers in the air to promote movement and in the sand tray. The students will learn short and simple number chants to help them remember how to write each number. Please prepare a container, shallow box, or tray with sand before class. Salt, powdered jello, or powdered pudding also work well. 

Ocean Play doh Shapes
We will talk about basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, and triangle). We will discuss the number of sides of each shape. Students will use play doh to create different shapes. The teacher will guide the students in making the shapes. The teacher will provide an ocean play doh mat prior to class. It is not required, but will make the activity more fun if you choose to print it out. 

I cannot wait to dive into this interactive mermaid math adventure with your littles.
