Here's a fun and effective worksheet for nursery class preschool math:
Theme: Counting Fun with Animal Friends!
Objective: Recognize and count up to 10 objects, identify shapes (square, circle, triangle), and develop fine motor skills.
Worksheet:
Page 1: Counting Fun with Friends!
* Draw 5-10 animals (e.g., butterflies, cats, dogs) in a column.
* Add 1-2 numbers (e.g., 3, 5) in Roman numerals at the top of the column.
* Ask the children to count how many animals they see and write the correct number.
Page 2: Shape Scavenger Hunt!
* Draw 5-10 shapes (squares, circles, triangles) in different colors and sizes.
* Hide 2-3 shapes behind each other (only showing one shape at a time).
* Ask the children to find the hidden shapes and identify their colors and types (e.g., "I found a red circle!").
Page 3: Counting Blocks!
* Draw 5-10 blocks with numbers (1-10) on each block.
* Add 1-2 mathematical operations (+1, -2) below the blocks.
* Ask the children to count the blocks, perform the mathematical operations, and draw the correct number of blocks.
Page 4: Shape Sorting!
* Cut out 5-10 shapes (squares, circles, triangles) in different colors and sizes.
* Place the shapes in a container or bag.
* Ask the children to sort the shapes by type (e.g., all squares together) or color (e.g., all red shapes together).
Assessment and Extension:
* Observe children during the activity and take note of their counting, shape recognition, and fine motor skills.
* Ask questions like "How many friends do you see?" or "What shape is this?"
* For extension, create a "Shape Museum" or a "Counting City" with blocks and toys.
Tips and Variations:
* Use real-life objects (e.g., toy animals, blocks) to make the activity more engaging and interactive.
* Adapt the worksheet to fit the children's learning needs and abilities.
* Incorporate music and songs to make the activity more enjoyable and memorable.
* Create a "Shape of the Day" or "Counting Challenge of the Week" to keep the children engaged and motivated.
Remember to provide a positive and supportive learning environment, and encourage children to ask questions and explore their creativity!
