Macrina Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Mudpies to Magnets but for use with Math and manipulatives? Same age, range 2-5. I just don't have enough creative juice left to keep coming up with my own math games using manipulatives with my 3 year old. I love the way Mudpies to Magnets is set up, I'd like something like that for math. Ideas? Edited September 26, 2010 by Macrina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallory Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I also like number and logic games for preschoolers. Family Math can be fun too, but might be a bit much for those ages. There are activity books for most manipulatives, Rainbow Resource carries lots. And you can see pictures and reviews there. I have just gotten Hands on Math and haven't even looked through it yet, but it is supposed to be activies for different manipulatives. There are also books called Thinking Kids Math (again I haven't seen them but they might fit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Researcher Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Family Math can be fun too, but might be a bit much for those ages. Agreed. Take a look at Family Math for Young Children instead. It is geared for ages 4-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 How about Math Play? You can see inside of it at Amazon to see if it will work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 One of my favorites for the preschool set is More Than Counting. It does approach math from an experiential pov--so kid-designed strategies for coming up with the answers are ok'd. I would not continue with that method, but it is GREAT for preschool. There are lots of sorting suggestions, some simple games, and just neat ways of developing number sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrina Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks everyone! I ordered Math Play but now I am also looking at RightStart Math set A though and it looks like it make work well for smaller ones too. So hard to decide...! Maybe for next year.
