Learning Math With Mother Goose Time

We've been using Mother Goose Time this week at home since it's Christmas break.  There were 5 days I didn't get to with my preschool class, so I brought them home to use with the girls.  Every monthly box comes with all kinds of materials to build math skills.  There are games that work on counting, hands on numbers, counting cards, shapes, patterning cards, my little journals etc.  We also get the more math and literacy books which help increase the skills with prek kids.  This week we got to use a few of the math items.  The girls used the colored cubes to build on the shape design mats.  This helps with spatial awareness, and the cubes can also be used for sorting by color.  
Every monthly box also comes with math cards and counters to help problem solve.  Elli is not able to do the easy and hard cards.  The easy ones work with counting, and the hard ones work on adding and subtracting.  She was very proud of herself when she flipped the cards over and saw her answers were right.


The girls also got to count out blocks while sewing their own designs.  Addie made a unicorn and Elli tried to make her name.
The girls got to make funny snowmen by swapping different pieces.
And they were able to design their own postcards.
