Fun Ways To Review Kindergarten Math Skills

Time for a kindergarten review! The school year’s end is approaching, and it’s time to review! Here are some tips and activities you could use to help students practice the skills you taught over the year.

Identifying 2D and 3D Shapes

Why Review: Recognizing and describing shapes is not just about naming them; it’s about understanding their attributes and how they relate to the world around us. This skill lays the groundwork for geometry in later grades.

Activity Suggestion: Use hands-on activities where students can manipulate and sort shapes. Some ideas include building shapes with playdough or identifying shapes in the classroom environment.

Addition and Subtraction

Why Review: Basic addition and subtraction are the building blocks of all future math learning. Fluency in these operations helps students develop number sense and prepares them for more complex calculations.

Activity Suggestion: Incorporate interactive games that require students to solve addition and subtraction problems using board games, card games, or digital apps that make learning fun and engaging.

Comparing Two Numbers

Why Review: Understanding the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to helps students make sense of numbers and their relationships. This skill is crucial for number sense and sets the stage for future topics like measurement and algebra.

Activity Suggestion: Use visual aids like number lines or ten frames for students to compare. You can create activities where students can physically move items to see which group has more or less.

Analyzing and Graphing Data

Why Review: Analyzing and graphing data teaches students how to interpret information and make decisions based on data. This skill is not only crucial in math but across all subjects.

Activity Suggestion: Collect simple data sets in the classroom or at home, such as students’ favorite fruits or the number of books read during the week. Have students create bar graphs or pictographs to represent this data.
