Quilting Math Lesson
Preschool Math Lesson Plans With Quilt Theme?
I am in a child development class and we have to plan/teach lessons to the preschoolers. Next week is my turn, and I was thinking of doing something with a quilt theme. I need some type of math lesson I can do, and I was thinking about teaching them about shapes to go along with the quilt theme. How could I teach this? Any ideas?
Or do you have any ideas for math lessons related to something starting with the letters Q or R? Keep in mind the kids are 3-5 years old. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!
An idea for the quilt theme: How about patterns? That is an important math concept for preschoolers. Give each child a row divided into squares. Have them create a pattern with shapes and/or colours or have them complete patterns you have started. Then connect the rows together to create a quilt. (Does that make sense?)
Hmm . . . math lessons related to letters? That’s not something I’ve ever heard of. Maybe make math folder games? My preschoolers loved those. Make or cut out pictures of queens with crowns that have from 1-10 (or whatever numbers) stones in the crown. They have to count the stones and match the queen to the right number.
For R – I’m stuck and out of time! LOL Something kind of like the queen game, only starting with R. I’m thinking rabbits, but am not sure what . . .
