One of the best ways young students learn is through play. This book contains 23 games and 21 centers that make practicing math concepts and skills exciting for young students. The games are organized around six themes -- crayons, frogs, puppies, mittens, peanuts. There are three to five games plus center suggestions for each theme. Skills are repeated in the various themes to develop learning mastery. Skills practiced: count to 20, graphing, patterning, geometric shapes, sort sets, ordinal numbers, number recognition, and numerical order. Here is a description of two games: "Find My Lily Pad" -- Reproducible pages contain frogs with numerals 1-10 and lily pads with 1-10 flies. Each student is given a lily pad. Teacher holds up a frog. Students read the numeral on the frog; the student with the lily pad showing that number of flies lays the lily pad in the center of the circle for the frog to be placed on.
