Explore, think creatively, investigate, solve problems . . . Learn Math!



Age focus: 3 - 5 years. Math crops up in everyday activities in so many ways. You can help preschoolers see math in the petals of a flower, the shape of a window, the bounce of a ball, the growth of a plant, and the repetition of a song. Instead of teaching math to preschoolers, you can be their guide as they experiment, think about problems, try solutions, gain understanding, and discuss their findings. Paperback. 104 pages.



Creative Investigations in Early Math gives teachers practical ideas for intentionally fostering young children's hands-on explorations in the following areas:
  • Number and number sense
  • Computation
  • Geometry and spatial sense
  • Measurement
  • Data collection and statistics
  • Patterns and relationships

With your guidance, preschoolers can figure out how the world of mathematics works and how math works in their world.

My daughter’s preschool teacher actually borrowed this book from me after one session—the way it turns everyday moments like counting petals into little investigations is so clever. The short activities fit perfectly into our morning routine without any prep.

Robert ★★★★★

The activities are perfect for my preschooler—we turned counting flower petals into a game after reading the section on everyday math. It's helped me see learning moments I’d otherwise miss during our normal day.

Victoria P. ★★★★☆

I’d been looking for something beyond worksheets, and this book delivers—the everyday activities it suggests really do turn snack time and play into math moments. The age focus of 3–5 feels spot-on for my son, though I wish it had a few more photocopiable pages instead of just ideas. Still, it’s spa
