What would be a cute math activity for a 3,4 and 5?

Question

dealing with health,nutrition

Answer 1

their favorite candy and a table. Set them out and if they get adding or subtracting right, let them eat the problem.

Answer 2

Breakfast/Snack build a number fruit train.  This may require a little work.  Make individual or depending on your children a rebus chart of the directions.  Individual mats will help the children with one to one correspondence.  Here's the food.  Graham crackers, vanilla yogurt, cheerios, and several liked fruits.  I used this to introduce new fruits such as, kiwi, strawberries, mango and blueberries.  Each child had to serve themselves 5 grahams and 10 cheerios.  They spread the yogurt on each graham (glue).  On the rebus show how many pieces of fruit they may have.  Put the fruits in groups on each graham.  The cheerios are the wheels.  This lesson includes counting, one to one correspondence, sorting, reading, literacy, social skills, cooking, nutrition, language and fun.  My class loved it and has asked to do it again.

Answer 3

Get some letters with tape on the back of them , then you show the kids letters and they guess where each letter goes in the "ABC"s

Answer 4

have like oranges, or apples ( any fruit) and cut  them into slices, and give each child 10 (or whatever amount) and let them add, and subtract, when you subtract, let them eat the fruits.

Answer 5

dude derive the relation between time-velocity equation, derive the value of "pi"...or do the mathematic derivation of law of conservation of momentum

Answer 6

counting with fruit or m&m..... workd for my kids! And also there sticker charts.... if they get 10 stickers they get a prize, so they count them 50 times a day to see if they have ten yet!

Answer 7

Use plain white paper or 4X6 cards.

Make matching pairs.

Easier ones:2 stickers on page 1 to match with 2 stickers on page 2

Harder ones: The numeral "3" to match with 3 circles/stickers/etc.

If you make the math materials of sturdier materials you could use them later for addition and subtraction.

Answer 8

Make large flash cards with a number on each one on one side, and on the back have them draw that amount of things....

Or give each child a flashcard and have a pile of "things" on your desk.  One at a time, have each child come up and count out X amount of things.  You could help and then when they have them, they can flip the card facing the class, have the class say aloud the number, and all together, count of the "things" and place in a bowl or back into the pile!!

Answer 9

have all of the kids interact with adding with apples and oranges and subtracting cookies....showing one apple plus one apple equals two apples and if you subtract a cookie you feel more nutritious and healthy because cookies are bad!!!

Answer 10

jelly beans and an egg carton........use them for counting and adding and subtracting and they can eat the numbers too.......could substitute raisins or nuts for a healthier version.

Answer 11

Try using something they relate with and like. Anything will do. To make them even more receptive to the idea of numbers you need to act excited about it also. Rewarding correct groups of answers with a small healthy treat works for motivation. Try not to teach longer than about 30 minutes at a time. Try not to teach them when they are tired or hungry. MAKE IT FUN! As long as they are learning your not doing it wrong at those ages.

Answer 12

HOW ABOUT TEACHING COUNTING WITH APPLES.THEY CAN LEARN ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION AND NEVER EVEN REALIZE THEY'RE LEARNING.YOU CAN ALSO CUT THE APPLES AND START TO TEACH FRACTIONS.KIDS ARE LIKE SPONGES,FILL THEM UP WITH KNOWLEDGE.

Answer 13

you should play concentration for math. like you could do equivalent fractions. 2/3 , 4/6, 8/16.....

Answer 14

Give them a bowl ful of pop-corns, and an emplty bowl. Make them take out 10 popcorns counting them aloud and put them in an empty bowl one by one , and then eat them.

Answer 15

Counting, grouping and adding food small and finger one would be good.

If you want to steer away from real food. Try cutting out pictures of food from magazines and counting and grouping them.
