Math

Shopping for Numbers

  1. Before heading to a store, make a "number shopping list"- write numbers 1-20 on a piece of paper and draw a checkbox next to each number.
  2. When you arrive at the store, ask your child to look for each number (in aisle numbers, price signs, on packaging).
  3. When your child finds a number, ask them to make a mark in the checkbox next to it.
  4. Can your child find all numbers 1-20? If they do, celebrate with a high five or a silly dance!

  3. Sit near a window. Throughout your journey, encourage your child to point out familiar places and landmarks they see.
