My Project

My Pre-Kindergarten students love learning through play. These materials will give them an opportunity to engage with math in a fun and cooperative way. In addition, we are working toward MSDE Pre-K Accreditation, and these materials will ensure that we have materials to meet this goal and to help our students thrive.

Skills that these fun games and toys address include shape identification and matching, one to one correspondence, and counting.

These are all skills that we teach and assess, and these materials will enrich our learning with lots of fun!

My students will love playing with the magnetic blocks, the magnetic shape sorting rods, the puzzles, and the stacking toys.
