You can present all of the number puzzles at once, or just select a few to set out. My daughter said she didn’t mind having to lay the puzzle pieces together rather than fit them together – but your child may prefer unlaminated.ĭownload and print the activity pack on white paper or card stock. It’s a personal preference if you’d rather print the puzzles on card stock and have them fit together like puzzle pieces but possibly get ripped/worn out after a few uses, or laminate them for repeated use but not perfectly fit together. I will add one caveat: laminating these sheets means that the puzzles won’t fit perfectly together but need to be overlapped. It costs about 13 cents a sheet to laminate which lets us get so much use out of any activity we print out. This is the laminator I use, and I just buy the super cheap packages of laminate sheets from Amazon. Tip: I like to laminate our printables so we can use them multiple times. Whether your child is new to these concepts or just needs to gain a bit of confidence, making math fun and enjoyable is always a great strategy. (Whether you have a dedicated schooling space or just a shelf with fun learning activities available).Įven though my daughter attends school full-time, I like to provide fun activities like this for her to build confidence with these concepts at home. The fruit number puzzles are a great busy bag activity for quiet time, perfect as a travel activity for hotel rooms or airplanes, or make a great addition to a home learning set-up.

It’s also the foundation for learning how to interpret math problems that are presented in different formats Matching Different Representations of Numbers – by identifying that “6” (numerical), “six” (written) and the physical, visual representation of 6 objects all mean the same thing, children expand their concept of mathematics and numbers.We start with number ordering – the fixed arrangement of numbers (1, 2, 3…) and then build on it to understand number patterns. Number Sequencing – children use the skill of rote counting to then build an understanding of how each number relates to others.The purpose of one-to-one correspondence counting is to begin to visually discriminate and recognize the number of objects in small groups without counting, and is the foundation for math problem solving. One-to-one Correspondence – while counting, children can tap each picture of fruit with their finger to recognize that each piece of fruit should be counting once (and only once).Counting – children can count the fruit clip art to figure out which puzzle the picture piece belongs to.While kids will just think that these puzzles are fun, they actually introduce or reinforce several important mathematical concepts: Even my 8 year old loved playing with these puzzles with their cute fruit theme and different ways of representing numbers.

Today’s math printable is a portable puzzle game that is perfect for preschoolers through early elementary. I’ve previously shared 25 Math Games for Kids, each reinforcing different concepts and using different tactics (sensory, gross motor, etc). I always think that the best ways to approach academic concepts with children is to make them fun! Ī fun printable math activity for kids, these Fruit-themed Math Puzzles teach counting, one-to-one correspondence, number sequencing, and matching written representations of numbers with visual and numerical representations – but the kids will just think it’s fun!
