Our oldest daughter Mabel has been in 100% remote kindergarten all school year. My wife Emily’s background is in pediatric occupational therapy, and this year she has supported Mabel’s remote schedule and supplemented her learning between online classes. She is sharing some of the best items we have found to help with math activities for kindergarten kids. These math products could be used for remote learning, homeschooling, or supplementing math practice at home.
20-Bead Rakenrek
hand2mind 20-Bead Wood Rekenrek: This counting frame is perfect for building number sense to 20 because it provides a hands-on way to see and count each number. The beads slide across the rack to help with practicing adding and subtracting. The red/white color design helps to build a strong sense of 5 & 10.
100-Bead Rekenrek
hand2mind 100-Bead Wood Rekenrek: This counting frame helps to expand number sense to 100 because students are able to visualize each number. The beads can be used to demonstrate a concrete example of arithmetic problems. The unique color coding helps changes at 50, highlighting that 100 is composed of 2 sets of 50.
Visual Timer
Time Timer MOD Visual Timer: This 60-minute visual timer can sit on a child’s desktop and help with time management, task completion, and anticipating transitions. It is only 3.6 x 3.6 inches, so it is easily portable around the home. It is perfect for signaling a specific time interval for an activity, and visually counts down the time.
123 Count With Me
123 Count with Me book: This interactive trace-and-flip book lets children trace the numbers 1-20 by following their fingers along a tracing track. Each page is illustrated with pictures of objects that match the corresponding number. There is also a lift-a-flap to count the final object on each page. This is a fun way to practice number formation and counting to 20.
Bear Counters
Learning Resources Bear Counters: These little 1 inch bears are a perfect hands-on way to visualize arithmetic problems and practice counting to 100. The bears can also be used for color recognization, sorting, and creating color patterns.
Play Shifu Plugo Count
Play Shifu Plugo Count: This STEM gaming kit turns a device (phone, tablet, etc) into a hands-on learning game. It includes a foldable gamepad, a Count Spike, 4 arithmetic operators (+ – x /), and 2 sets of digits 0-9. The game consists of story-based math challenges that need to be solved with a number and/or arithmetic operators. Kids can answer the problems by visually locating the correct answer and then placing it onto the Count Spike. It’s a fun way to practice math concepts!
