Write addition and subtraction problems on index cards and have your students use the number line to help them solve the problems. If the math problem says 6+3, then they will stand on 6 and take 3 steps forward to 9! For subtraction problems, walk backward or count up. Make sure your students say the […]
Have a student start at zero and roll one die. They will take the number of steps on the die. The next student will start at zero and do the same. The first student to reach exactly ten wins. If the roll of the die yields a number that causes them to exceed ten, go […]
Have a student start at ten and roll one die. They will take the number of steps on the die. The next student will start at ten and do the same. The first student to reach exactly zero wins. If the roll of your die yields a number that causes you to surpass zero, go […]
Clip a math worksheet on a clipboard. Have your students figure out the answers to the math problems by walking or jumping on the mat.
Say to your student, “Choose a number and walk to it.” Ask the student, “How many steps would you have to take to reach ten?” Have the student jump the number of boxes it takes to get to ten. For example, if a student chooses to stand on 6, the student answers that it would […]
Have a student throw a bean bag on the floor mat. They will then hop to the bean bag alternating between one and two-footed movements. Have them pick up the bean bag and say the numeral underneath where the bean bag landed.
Have your students notice that all the numbers have corresponding dots. This is intended for students to learn the value of the numbers. Notice that the number two has two dots. These two dots are buddies. Two is an even number! The number three has three dots. Two of the dots are buddies, but there […]
Have your students match up the numerals with the same number of objects. Place one object on number one. Place two objects on number two. Choose two of the same thing—like two shoes, two books, or two toy cars. Place three objects on number three. Consider choosing three mittens, rocks, or spoons. Continue placing objects […]
Have the student begin on START HERE. Have the student whisper “one” while hopping with one foot on the numeral one. Then have the student jump with two feet on the two, clap and say “two” in a loud voice (if your learning environment permits). Continue alternating between one foot and two-footed movements to the […]
Have a student begin on START HERE. Have them read the first two words that contract while jumping with two feet on the mat –one foot on each word. Then, have the student hop with one foot on the contraction and say the contraction out loud. Be sure that your student says the words and […]
