Kindergarten math activities for number sense?Brianna Taylor

Hey all!

I’m always looking for fun, hands on ways to build number sense in my kindergarten classroom. What are your favorite little / no prep math activities that keeps students busy?

I’d love ideas for:

  • Counting practice (1-10, 1-20)
  • Subitizing games
  • Hands-on addition & subtraction
  • Fun ways to introduce ten frames

Thanks in advance!

Hey @Brianne, I've got a few for you:


Counting Practice

  • Roll & Count – Roll a die (or two for higher numbers) and use small objects like buttons, erasers, etc. to count out that many.
  • Number Line Hop – Tape a number line on the floor and have kids hop to the correct number when called.


Subitizing Games

  • Flash & Show – Quickly flash dot cards and have students call out the number. My kids love this!


Addition & Subtraction

  • Math Cups – Use three small cups to separate a set of objects into two parts and talk about the equation.
  • Toss & Add – Toss small bean bags onto a number mat and add the totals.


Ten Frames

  • Sticker Ten Frames – Use dot stickers to fill in ten frames and talk about how many more to make ten.


Good luck!
