    Have a lot of loose buttons lying around the house? Put them to use! Leftover buttons make for great tactile math games and art projects to do with your kindergartner. Children are attracted to the bright colors and shapes of buttons, so they're perfect for teaching your child important concepts like sorting, counting, and patterning. Here are four ways to turn those loose buttons into an easy and positive learning experience.

      MA.K.5 2000 - MeasurementStudents understand the concept of time and units to measure it. They understand that objects have length, capacity, weight, and temperature, and that they can compare objects using these qualities.

    Ask your student, "Was your estimate close?" and "Were there more or less pieces on the spoon than you thought?"

      We have a Dr. Seuss unit at Lowell.  The first graders have a parade with homemade floats and everything!  This would be a cute Kindergarten math activity for counting or adding during Seuss time.

    • katie wilds
       
      MA.1.4 2000 - GeometryStudents identify common geometric shapes, classify them by common attributes, and describe their relative position or their location in space.
  •  
    review basic shape terms that will be especially useful in math later on, when kids move to studying three dimensional shapes and early geometry. Great for Kinesthetic learners
  •  
    Children use this Twister game as a way to learn their shapes. The children design the game board by drawing several different shapes. A spinner is made, and directions are given to the children playing. Each child puts their hand or foot on the space designated to them by the directions.

      2.OA.2 "Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.2 By end of Grade 2, know from memory sums all of two one-digit numbers." This game could be modified for gifted students by using more number cards, and modifying the goal. The goal for these students could be to get cards that total 20, rather than 10. This game could also be used for older age groups by having them play with negative and positive numbers. 
  •  
    This game will help students with strategy.
  •  
    This is a spin off of the classic "Go Fish" game! Children take turns drawing cards and trying to come up with as many pairs of cards as they can that total 10. The winner is the player with the most pairs of cards.

  • This incredibly edible activity gives kindergartners the chance to practice identifying, copying, and extending basic patterns.
    • Susan Shonle
       
      Patterning teaches kindergartners to look for what's the same and what's different, in addition to the order, or sequence, things occur. And when everything's edible, the learning feels like play!
    • Susan Shonle
       
      Extension: This game can be used with A,B,C letters to learn the alphabet in addition to pattern recognition in mathematics. Adaptations: This activity can be modified to include pictures for ESL or Special Needs.

      Math Fact Bingo: this would be a great addition to review day where kids are rotating between activities that are focused on skills from a specific unit. It would also be great to add counting bears or other manipulatives to allow kids the ability to use several intelligences while doing this activity (kinesthetic, visual, logical, verbal)

      This would be a great activity to add to an ELL lesson that is enriching geometry simply because you can work on English math vocabulary while also learning/reviewing geometric shapes.
    • Laura Riggins
       
      This would be great to increase math vocabulary for ELL students by adding this to a lesson on geometric terms. It would be great to do at the end to make sure that students have a clear understanding of the math lingo.
  •  
    2.G.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.5 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. You would have to make your own calling cards for shape names
  •  
    Sticky Note: You would be able to use this as a great math review game for ELL math vocabulary

      This could also be used as an addition or subtraction domino game in lower grades without changing the integrity of the game. It would also be easy to use as the level of difficulty of your problems increase. Laminating them to different colors would allow easy coding as to the level of difficulty of the problem.
  •  
    Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations"

      This would be a great activity to cross with a science unit.  It might work better in groups because of the number of objects to manage and carry around.
    • William Templeton
       
      Additionally making groups in a mindful way would allow for accommodation for children with exceptional needs.
