Pre-Kindergarten Math Lessons

Support Pre-K and transitional kindergarteners with these free math lessons and center activities! They'll learn to add by 1, solve problems within 5, and explore math all around them.

• Math All Around Us

  Students explore what it means to do math by creating with different math tools, describing how objects are the same and different, sorting objects into groups, and counting small groups to find the total.

• We Belong Together
• Counting Around Town
• 1, 2, 3, Sing With Me!

• Exploring Flat Shapes

  Students explore two-dimensional shapes by describing, comparing, sorting, and constructing them based on their attributes. Compose and move shapes in different ways.

• Round 'Em Up!
• Hot! Hot! Hot!
• Shape Pictures
• Inside, Outside, Beside, Between

• Counting and Finding Patterns

  Make sense of quantities by counting, representing, and comparing groups of up to 10 objects and by collecting and comparing data. Describe, duplicate, and fix repeating patterns.

• Picnic Partners
• Sensing Patterns
• All Mixed Up!

• Adding, Subtracting, and Sharing

  Explore how groups change when objects are added and taken away, and represent and solve story problems about adding, subtracting, and sharing objects equally.

• Hands Together
• Preparing the Plates
• Odd One Out

• Measuring and Comparing

  Compare and order objects by height, weight, capacity, and length, and describe the comparisons. Measure length by laying units end to end, and connect length measurement to counting.

• Longer and Shorter
• The Order of Things

• Composing, Decomposing, and Sharing

  Explore the relationship between parts and totals by composing and decomposing groups of up to 10 objects in different ways, and solve problems about sharing groups of objects equally.

• Mmmm, Pie!
• Break It Down
• Snap To It!
• Old MacDonald

• Data and Solid Shapes

  Explore three-dimensional shapes by describing, comparing, sorting, and composing them based on their attributes. Organize and interpret data represented with objects, pictures, and tally marks.

• Roll With It
• The Write Stuff
• Math Is for Everyone!
