Explanatory note
“Children are always willing to do something. It's quite helpful
and therefore not only should it not be interfered with,
but steps must be taken to
so that they always have something to do"
Comenius Ya.
Acquaintance with wonderful world mathematics starts at preschool age . Children with interest and desire get acquainted with numbers, learn to operate with them, compare objects in size, study geometric figures and master the skill of orientation in space and time. Mathematics gives great opportunities for the development of thinking, logic and attention.
For the successful acquisition of knowledge in the sections of the formation of elementary mathematical representations (FEMP) didactic games play an important role. The game is the leading activity children, only in the game the child unobtrusively assimilates and successfully consolidates knowledge.
Each of the FEMP games solves a specific problem of improvement mathematical(quantitative, spatial, temporal) representations children.
Didactic games are included directly in the content of classes on FEMP as one of the means of implementing program tasks, as well as for individual work to consolidate knowledge children after noon. Didactic games in the structure of the FEMP lesson are determined age of children purpose, purpose, content of the lesson.

As you know, the game is the main activity of preschool children. In preschool pedagogy, games are considered not only as a means of educational work, but also as an independent form of organizing the life and activities of children. In teaching preschoolers to count, games play a significant role. They are systematically applied in the process of classes, as well as independent activities. In addition, they are held during children's leisure hours.
When teaching children to count, games are used in a certain connection with didactic exercises. The fact is that at the educational stage, when children are given new knowledge, a greater regulation of the actions of each child is required in comparison with the subsequent stage - the consolidation of knowledge and skills. It is didactic exercises that make it possible to provide the greatest regulation of children's actions.
Didactic games do not always contribute to this, due to their dynamism. Based on these considerations, we recommend using didactic exercises at the beginning of training, and in the future, in order to consolidate and deepen knowledge, conduct didactic games.
In classes with children of the 4th year of life, one didactic game can completely determine their content when it comes to strengthening the acquired knowledge and counting skills. With children of the 5th, 6th, 7th year, classes become more complicated, in structure, and therefore, as a rule, they combine didactic games with didactic exercises. Gradually, the weight of the didactic exercises in the class increases every next year, but it is also necessary to provide time for games.
Experience has convinced us that in the middle, senior and preparatory groups must be carried out games in math class. It is known that the perception of new material requires focused attention, so it is, of course, served at the beginning of classes. In the course of the lesson, the material covered is repeated. This largely determines the didactic exercises and games in the numeracy classes. If the exercises are related to the study of new program material, they should be carried out in class earlier than games to consolidate the material worked out.
We will present various games in mathematics: didactic, dramatization games, outdoor games with counting elements. Numbers of typical games are given in parentheses. Placement according to this principle will make it easier for PEI practitioners to select games for individual classes, as well as for independent activities. The age principle is also respected, but it must be admitted that the distribution of games according to the age of children is very conditional. Some games offered for a certain age can also be used in working with children of the following age groups, subject to appropriate complications (increasing numbers, tightening rules, using numbers, etc.).

Greetings to all parents who care about the development of their children in an interactive way. Today we will discuss math games for preschoolers. In this case, we will touch on their various options. It has been said more than once that all children are individual, which is why you, dear parents, need to choose the type of game that will interest your preschooler. After all, only enthusiasm for the lesson will stimulate the development of mathematical abilities.
- Didactic
- Movable
- Desktop
Let's remember what a game is and why it is so important for our children. It involves two or more players who use their wits, build strategies, while respecting the rules. The end result depends on the behavior and application of the knowledge of all players in these areas. In addition to being entertaining, such fun has a very serious educational function. In adulthood, mathematical games are used in professions such as economists, politicians, lawyers. I strongly advise you to read about game theory on Wikipedia.
Organizing the life of children in the game, parents develop a multifaceted personality of a preschooler. In this way, children learn new things, learn to focus attention, develop memory, Creative skills, logical thinking, imagination.
Didactic math games for preschoolers
Mathematical thinking can be developed from early childhood. There are many game ways to do this, one of which is didactic games. They contain: the task set, the action according to the rules, the result. Tasks become more difficult with age. If at the age of 2 you show a logical chain of 2 objects to a child, then at the age of 5 an older preschooler can build it from 4-5 objects. The conditions of such games are the fulfillment of the educational goal and their conduct in an interactive environment.
Didactic game - Geometric mosaic
It has been living with us for a very long time, but it does not lose its relevance. You can prepare such material yourself, you will need to cut out many different geometric shapes from colored paper. Then prepare cards with objects recognizable by the child. Laminate both.
At first, the child simply copies what he sees in the finished drawing, while learning to match the details in shape and color, trains mindfulness. Then he begins to fantasize and can already create his own images without relying on a sample. Now the imagination, visual-figurative thinking is turned on. In both cases, fine motor skills develop.
Photo source maam.ru Our didactic geometric mosaic is purchased. It is stored in a convenient suitcase, all parts are wooden with a magnet on the back. Thus, my preschooler can collect stories not only on the walls of the suitcase, but also on a magnetic board hanging on the wall. Attached cards with 50 images of different levels. Here is such a simple cup you can assemble at the initial level.
Today my son is 5 years 7 months old, and sometimes he still wants to work on the model, using more complex models. But more often he can be caught assembling his own drawing. The beauty of such an acquisition is not only in the compactness of storage and the confidence that the details will not be lost. But also in the opportunity to bring the collected parents and show what happened.
If the mother is directly involved in the classes, then in the process of unobtrusively naming the figures, the child will definitely learn them. Together you can make a fairy tale from the resulting characters. You can read more about it in a separate article. Over time, try playing “Guess what it is”. The preschooler independently collects the drawing, and the parent must guess what is shown on it. Create masterpieces one by one. It is even more interesting if little guests have come, then entertainment is provided for everyone.
I purchased our set from Amazon, it was released by the company Imaginets. This is really a quality product. But if you do not live outside of Russia, you can see similar mosaics in online stores. Pay attention to the variety of geometric shapes and the presence of sample cards.
Didactic game - What is wrong?
It can be played both with the previous magnetic pieces and with the three-dimensional ones. Didactic material can be any toys in the set, counting bears of different colors, natural material - cones and acorns, for example. It is better to play with several children so that there is a competitive effect, then it really turns out to be fun. The players turn away, the parent quickly arranges a logical chain in which the move is broken. This may be a figure of a different type, a different color, its absence in a logical chain, or vice versa, an excessive presence. On command, the players turn around and quickly say the mistake they see. The one who guesses it the most times wins.
It is better to agree in advance what score to play, we usually compete up to 10, and then we want to repeat. Alexander competes with dad, and I establish logical chains. What does this children's didactic game develop:
- Attentiveness;
- fast response;
- vocabulary (you need to accurately express your thought);
- knowledge of the exact names of geometric shapes or colors (depending on the option chosen).
The most interesting mathematical games with didactic materials, which I did with my own hands, in the article.
Mobile math games for preschoolers
Movement is important for all children, but it is vital for middle and older preschool children. And if girls can sit quietly and assemble a mosaic for 15-30 minutes, then this is simply not given to boys by nature. Therefore, when planning mathematical games for preschoolers, I could not bypass such an important type of them as mobile ones. Watching the children, I can say that such activities bring pleasure to both boys and girls.
My regular readers are already familiar with Estella, Alexander's girlfriend, who comes to visit us on Mondays. I always try to organize leisure time for the guys and offer them my games when I see a break in their own. Children are happy to accept offers to play, I participate in these entertainments only as a commentator and referee.
Mobile game - Collect the right item
We needed:
- 4 chairs;
- several types of geometric shapes;
- 2 containers to store.
I played this mathematical outdoor game on the terrace. Four chairs placed in pairs from each other at a decent distance. At one end she laid out geometric shapes, at the other she placed containers for brought trophies. Teach the children the rules of the game
Everyone has geometric shapes on the chair, 8 pieces each. I took them in my hands and we named the species - this should be done to make sure that all the players know them. Children stand near the chairs with baskets, on the count of 3 they run to the chair with the figures and take only one of the given ones. They return to put it in a container and so on until they have collected all 8 pieces. The one who collects first wins.
So, I prepared: squares, circles, cylinders, triangles, rectangles, cubes. I chose all the items from the available toys, trying to make the geometric figure immediately recognizable. She put three kinds of figures on a chair for each child. In the first round, it was proposed to transfer Alexander - a square and Estella - a triangle to the basket. In the second, a circle and a rectangle, and at the end the remaining cylinder and cube. At the end, players no longer need to choose the right piece, but the excitement of mobile competition continues to be present.
If you are sure that your preschoolers are familiar with volumetric geometric shapes, then the game can be complicated by choosing only them. You can also pick up objects similar to a certain shape. For example, a spatula or a plastic tree resembling a triangle, a ball - a ball, a flask for experiments - a cylinder. Look around and I'm sure you'll find the right items.
Mobile game - Connect the dots with the number
It is similar in style to the previous one. But in this case, players need to put a card with a number on a card with the same number of dots. We still have the “Math from the Diapers” set from the Umnitsa company, which I used. These cards are easy to make yourself, as you will need a small number of them. Dots can be put down by hand or by sticking sticky circles, as on discounted products.
Such outdoor mathematical games for preschoolers develop knowledge of numbers, their comparison with quantity, attentiveness, competitiveness and the desire to win. Estella was prepared with a set of cards from 0 to 10, Alexander from 20 to 30. It immediately became clear that zero caused difficulty for the girl, and the boy could not quickly determine a large number of points by eye. It was not difficult to explain the concept of zero, but for Alexander I had to replace the cards from 11 to 21. The children played 4 times, the score was 2:2.
To accommodate large dot cards, we moved to an apartment. By moving the dining table to the side, we managed to get 4 meters of takeoff run. The two mathematical games I described gave the children the opportunity not only to move, but it was also clear that they were perceived by them as entertainment.
Board math games for preschoolers
I will only describe a few of the math board games that we have available and are worth checking out. Why are they good? Firstly, board games captivate all family members, which is more likely to spend time together. Secondly, they do not need to be prepared, like the ones I wrote about above. Thirdly, they are aimed at developing different aspects: knowledge of the composition of a number, the ability to add numbers, develop logic.
To complete the story about the games of children in our house, I will write right away about the outdoor game. Although if you have a long table, then it can become desktop. Richard Scarry's Busytown- this is her name and of course she will be loved by children who are familiar with the books of this author: City of Good Deeds, Book about cars, Book of Good Behavior. The age category of players is 3+, I absolutely agree with this, but older preschoolers also play it with pleasure. I purchased it from Amazon, if you enter the name into the Russian search engine, you will see this math game for children on the Russian market.
I would say that this is the first step in the score, since here the players, after scrolling the arrow, need to take a certain number of steps on the way to the goal. The guys develop the ability to play by the rules, follow the order, attentiveness - this is one of the main factors here, they get acquainted with hourglass. The bottom line is this:
Players choose characters from their favorite books, there are 4 of them in total. They turn the arrow in turn and, depending on its stop, apply actions: they count steps when making decisions on choosing a road, look for the specified object. The characters move towards the island where the food picnic is located. Pigs are sitting on the island, which, as you know, are very voracious. If the arrow stops at a piglet, then one of the dishes is “eaten” by the opponents. The goal is to arrive on the island before the pigs eat everything.
The peculiarity of the game is that there is no losing player here, since they are playing against piglets. This is a team win or loss. You have probably noticed, dear parents, that it is difficult for preschoolers to lose. Many children cry and even refuse to participate. In this case, this does not happen. I will note one more plus: when the arrow falls on the Golden Beetle with a magnifying glass, you need to take one card from the deck, which depicts the object of the search. The hourglass turns over and the children begin to look for the indicated objects in the city. This is great for developing mindfulness, and if you study English language, it will serve as excellent practice, since the drawings on the cards are signed in English.
Continuing the theme of children who do not like to lose, I will tell you about this wonderful board game. It was bought by me when the child was 4.5 years old. The 6+ recommendation did not bother me, since Alexander had long ago mastered the score within ten. We've played several board games before and never had a similar situation with any of them. But this one develops not only addition within ten, to be exact up to 9, but also quick reaction and attentiveness. The child could not count as fast as I did, and giving in has no educational meaning. After several losses, he cried and began to withdraw. I had to pause, then explain that if something does not work out as we would like, then it can only be improved through practice.
Our version of the box is on top of the photo and it is absolutely identical to the Russian one. As a result, after 2-3 months, Alexander reached a fantastic level of addition within 9 and began to beat me! The included bell makes a mesmerizing impression on children, we began to use it in the Fructo 10 set, which will be described below. Definitely, speaking about mathematical games for preschoolers, Halli Gali is in the lead in the practice of addition, bringing it to automatism.
It is very similar to the previous one, but they are perceived in completely different ways. Players can be from 2 to 5, the meaning is the same: find the number 10 as quickly as possible by adding. Variants of the game are allowed by colors and by the type of fruit depicted. Fructo 10 doesn't work as fast as Halli Galli. The hard work of the mind in this the game is on not only to search for numbers and add them, but also to sort fruits by type, and there are 4 of them in each picture. What did my preschooler learn playing this board game- get 10 by adding several numbers. For example: 2+2+6 or 3+4+3. Such calculations must be made faster than the opponent and my son beats me!
This set was released by the "Gang of wise men" company. After analyzing both mathematical addition games, I advise you to start with Halli Galli and introduce after a while. Which, although recommended for children 7+, has many options, so it is ideal for older preschoolers.
Board game Kalah of the Mancala family
I confess that in our family she is simply called Mancala. This is a two-player logic-math game that is perfect for preschoolers and schoolchildren. I bought it because of a wooden box, imagining what developmental activities I could organize with it. But when I got home and figured out the rules, I realized that its use would be for its intended purpose. It develops logic, building a strategy, calculating moves in advance. There are no random winners in it, if you made a mistake with the calculation, then you lost. Dad and Alexander are fond of her very often - they both liked it. The husband sees the potential and deep meaning of the game.
It reminds me a bit of Backgammon, only you don't need to throw dice here. Be sure to read about the history of Mancala, people could not be wrong for centuries. I do not advise you to buy parodies like 2 in 1, take the classic Kalah. If you do not find it in a wooden box, then there is more cardboard version, it will be much cheaper.
Well, dear friends, I hope that the mathematical games for preschoolers described by me will be useful to you in the development of children. And desktop will help to spend time together with the family in a fun and useful way. Let me remind you that I have already described our and games with .

Explanatory note
“Children are always willing to do something. This is very useful, and therefore not only should this not be interfered with, but measures must be taken to ensure that they always have something to do.
Comenius Ya.
Acquaintance with the wonderful world of mathematics begins at preschool age. Children with interest and desire get acquainted with numbers, learn to operate with them, compare objects in size, study geometric shapes and master the skill of orientation in space and time. Mathematics provides great opportunities for the development of thinking, logic and attention.
For the successful mastering of knowledge in sections, the formation of elementary mathematical representations (FEMP) plays an important role in didactic games. The game is the leading activity of children, only in the game the child unobtrusively learns and successfully consolidates knowledge.
Each of the FEMP games solves a specific problem of improving the mathematical (quantitative, spatial, temporal) representations of children.
Didactic games are included directly in the content of FEMP classes as one of the means of implementing program tasks, as well as for individual work to consolidate children's knowledge in the afternoon. Didactic games in the structure of the FEMP lesson are determined by the age of the children, the purpose, purpose, and content of the lesson.
I bring to your attention author's didactic games.

*** ***
One night, under a bush, Five crows sat on the roof,
Mushrooms have grown again. Yes, they flew to them.
Two mushrooms, three mushrooms. Answer quickly, boldly
How much will? Exactly ... (five) How many of them flew in? (seven)
) I was interested not casually. Perhaps one of the regular readers remembers my abstract. In it, I wrote that already in the Middle Ages, laying out drawings and patterns was considered very useful for the development of children's creativity. The material for laying out can be very different: ordinary cubes, buttons, splinter, mosaics, etc. Nikitin's cubes, in my opinion, have advantages over other materials for laying out. When playing with them, it is required not only to put a cube, but also to choose a face suitable for the drawing, which complicates the task.
The set contains 16 identical cubes, and a brochure with diagrams. The game consists in laying out drawings and symmetrical patterns.
Each face of the cube has its own color:
Thus, from this set you can add just an incredible number of drawings and patterns. We are still practicing on the simplest:
Included with the cubes is a meaningful brochure. It has a lot of options for schemes. Laying out drawings according to samples is just an intermediate stage in working with these cubes. The main goal is, of course, to make fantasy work and start inventing your own drawings.
 |
 |
In addition to the set, I purchased an album with tasks (My-shop):
 |
 |
 |
 |
The cubes are made of plastic. It looks like they were originally blue. Red, yellow and white colors are glued on top.
We started our acquaintance with cubes by laying out the simplest drawings and practicing from the album. I can’t say that we had a rush with the advent of Nikitin’s cubes. At this stage, Yana prefers to play story games, including with these cubes. They play the role of mushrooms in her 😀 .
Cuisiner's sticks
This is a multifunctional counting material (My-shop). The set includes 10 types of sticks. Each stick size is highlighted with its own color. The larger the sticks, the smaller their number. Most of all the smallest sticks (white - 25 pieces), least of all the largest sticks (orange - 4 pieces).
In addition to learning to count, various patterns and drawings can be laid out from these sticks. It should be noted that ordinary counting sticks have little in common with Kuisiner's sticks. The latter are quite large. In cross section, they have the shape of a square, so even three-dimensional figures can be laid out from them.
My particular interest in these sticks is due to the study of time-tested development techniques. In the 19th century, an innovative educator developed a range of materials for the development of children. One of the elements of the development of creativity was laying out images from the splinter. When I first saw Cuisiner's sticks, Nikitin's cubes and albums with diagrams for them, I was incredibly happy that there are currently analogues of Froebel's gifts. It must be noted that modern version of developing materials is more pleasant and multifunctional than the medieval one. Using Cuisiner's sticks, you can study colors, sizes, counting, comparisons, and the simplest arithmetic operations.
In addition, a number of albums and sets with diagrams have been developed specifically for sticks, which further increase interest. We purchased the set "On the golden porch ...". The kit is wonderful, but in my opinion there are not enough schemes for the little ones. Below are some photos of the spreads:
With sticks, as with Gyenes blocks, there are many options free games. Since we have just begun our acquaintance with them, we play the simplest options:
Probably, over time, we will have a piggy bank with stick games. Today I will give an example of how I taught Yana to lay out a house. The usual step-by-step repetition turned out to be not interesting, and in this case it cannot even be said that Yana's house did not work out. He didn’t want to build it at all, because all our sticks are “jelly that kids (plush toys) need to eat” :oops:. I had to impose my own plot. For this, I used a fairy tale about a hare and a fox. Yana was given the following props: a sticker of a hare, 4 blue sticks, 2 red sticks and an A4 sheet. I took myself: 4 orange sticks, 2 red sticks, a sticker with a fox and an A4 sheet.
- Stickers are pasted on the center of the sheets. I did the first, Yana followed me.
- They made the floor - everyone put their stick under the sticker.
- They made a ceiling - they put a stick over the sticker.
- Built walls - put sticks on the sides.
- Then they built a lid - two sticks on top. At that moment, Yana's face lit up with the result.

There are a large number of games with Cuisiner sticks designed for different ages on the Internet. They can be found by entering into the search engine the phrase "summary of classes with Cuisiner's sticks junior / senior group«.
math tablet
Another one of our “developers” from the category of “everything ingenious is simple” is a mathematical tablet (My-shop). It is designed to study the elementary concepts of geometry (symmetry, etc.) and the development of speech.
Hammer construction game
I was interested in this game because of the opportunity to score "carnations" for real and with its creative component. 
When ordering, I did not think that such "carnations" could be dangerous for babies, because I did not see what they were. When I saw that the "studs" were power buttons with a round cap, I was disappointed. However, it is fair to say that the existence of safe studs, with the ability to score for real, defies the laws of physics.
At first, the game aroused great interest. The opportunity to score "carnations" was received with a bang. But a number of restrictions, made for security reasons, quickly cooled the ardor for the game. I think this game is more suitable for middle or older preschoolers.
In conclusion
Reading posts about our plentiful "razvivashki", I often get asked questions about their need for kids. I want to note that Yana and I have a special feature - an abundance of books and "developers". We have a growing number of them because I see it as a great return on our educational games. It gives me great pleasure to offer Yana the next task and watch her interest and progress. At the same time, one must be aware that for the harmonious development of the baby the content of all "developers" is a secondary matter. The primary is emotional, cognitive and diverse communication with the mother.. You can play a variety of story games with your baby every day or take various walks with a lot of high-quality conversations and early age. Such development at an early age will be no less effective than a large set of “developers”. He writes in great detail on numerous examples about the organization of the correct interaction between a mother and a child.
At the same time, when it comes to development preschooler of middle and senior kindergarten age, then acquaintance with the basics of mathematics and the development of creativity through laying out drawings and patterns are important points. To get acquainted with many concepts, illustrative examples will be required. The materials described above are an excellent option for these purposes.
All pleasant and effective development process!
