Game exercises to consolidate the relationship between the number and number of objects.
1. Game exercise "Put the desired number in the house"
Children are given cards with the image of a different number of objects. The child is given the task: Count the items on the card, find the right number and put it in the house.
Complication When children learn to easily cope with such a task. You can put the wrong numbers in the house in advance and ask the children to correct the mistake
. 
2. Game exercise "Put it right."
In advance, I arrange a different number of toys in the group. For example: 2 dolls, 5 cars, 8 pins, 5 cubes and so on. I give the children the task: Count the toys and bring the corresponding number. I ask the children a question: Why did you bring such a figure. The child explains his actions: "I brought the number 5 because there are 5 cars."
Complication When children learn to easily cope with such a task. You can put the wrong numbers next to the number of toys in advance, ask the children to check, correct the mistake, and explain their actions.
3. Game exercise "Fun exercise".
I read the poem, show the appropriate cards and ask the children to perform actions in accordance with the text of the poem.
How many dots do you see in a circle
Let's raise our hands so many times. (Picture)
How many green trees
so many slopes. (Picture)
We will swear so many times
How many apples do we have. (Picture)

How many fingers will we see (Picture)
Game exercises to consolidate knowledge of numbers and digital series.
1 Game exercise "The number is hidden."
I draw the attention of children to the number row. Please remember the location of the numbers.
10
I ask the children to close their eyes, the children close their eyes, I remove the number from the digital series and hide it. I ask the children to open their eyes, determine which number is hidden. Children call the number, it "returns" to the number row.
10
Complication When children learn to easily cope with such a task. Can be a game exercise"The number is lost." The game is played in the same way. I ask the children to close their eyes, the children close their eyes, and I change the numbers. I ask the children to open their eyes, determine which number is lost. Then I ask you to put the number in its place and name its neighbors so that the number is no longer lost.

2. Game exercise "Help Dunno".
Dunno was taking the numbers to the Flower City to the Merry Men. The car was driving through the forest, the truck rocked on a bump and the numbers scattered. You need to collect them and arrange them correctly, if any figure is not in its place, the car does not budge. The car moves only if the task is completed correctly. Children help Dunno complete the task.
3. Game exercise "Music box"
Notes (cards with numbers) are in the box. But the box opened and the notes got mixed up, and in order to get a beautiful melody, the conductor must arrange the notes in a certain order, like the numbers in the number series.
10
One child is chosen to be the conductor. If the child - the conductor arranges the notes correctly - the music from any familiar song sounds. The children sing along. If a mistake is made, the music does not sound.

Game exercises to consolidate the composition of the number and solve examples.
1 Game exercise "Let's help Santa Claus light the lights on the Christmas tree."
Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden decided to light the lights on the Christmas tree for the animals. But they do not have all the balls with numbers, and the Christmas tree does not light up. I draw the attention of the children to the fact that at the top of the Christmas tree there is a number - 5. On one side there are balls with numbers, and on the other without numbers. You need to pick up such numbers so that when added, you get the number 5. Children solve examples with counting sticks and light the lights on the Christmas tree (paint over the balls with colored pencils). When all examples are solved correctly, the topmost light is lit.
2 Game exercise "Football game".
On a magnetic board I post an image of a hare - a football player standing at the gate and images of soccer balls.
7+1=
The child takes the ball, reads the example written on the back of the ball, and solves it, comments, i.e. explains everything he does. If the example is solved correctly, then the goal is scored for the hare
3. Game exercise "Gathering mushrooms."
An image of a squirrel, mushrooms, two baskets with the numbers 5 and 7 is hung on a magnetic board (any other numbers that the children know the composition of are possible). Examples are written on the back of each mushroom. The result of solving each example is the number 5 or 7. Children pick the mushroom, solve the example, and if its solution is 7, then put it in the basket with the number 7. If the solution of the example is 5, then put it in the basket with the number 5.
4. Game exercise "Help Mishutka get to the pot of honey."
An image of a bear cub and a pot of honey is hung on a magnetic board.
The children are given a task: Mishutka really wants to try honey. But the honey pot is on the other side of the swamp. Walking through the swamp is very dangerous, you only need to step on bumps so as not to drown. But it’s not easy to hit a bump, you need to solve an example, and Mishutka doesn’t know how to solve examples. Children help Mishutka walk through the swamp (solving examples).

teacher: Hello guys! Is our class I would like to start with these lines
Fly fly petal
Through west to east
Through the north, through the south,
Come back, make a circle.
As soon as you touch the ground
be led in my opinion.
teacher: Who knows from which works these lines? (Flower of seven flowers) . And who wrote this work? (Valentin Kataev). Why the flower is called? (children remember the story, and explain why it is called that).
Stage 2: Motivational (goal setting).
teacher: Guys! Look what happened to our flower of seven flowers(Screen picture colorless flower)
Children: The flower has become colorless. He can no longer grant wishes.
teacher: Quite right. He was bewitched by the evil sorceress Chernilda (picture of Chernilda with flower on the screen) she took his power.
To flower to disenchant, we need to complete the tasks prepared by the sorceress.
teacher: Let's try to cope with the tasks?
Children: Yes.
Stage 3: Basic.
teacher: The sorceress lived in the castle, but during her sorcery, the towers on her castle shattered into pieces. We need to restore them.
Didactic game "Assemble the Towers".
teacher: You have parts of destroyed towers on your tables. What do you think should be done?
Children: Make parts in order from 1 to 9 (children are divided into two teams and arrange blocks with numbers in order on two tables).
teacher: Look, the towers are the same or different? What is the difference? Who remembers the name of the figure they look like?
Children: Different. Differ in size. The shape of a parallelepiped.
teacher: On the towers near Chernilda lived her favorite birds, pigeons. When the towers shattered, the birds also flew away, now the sorceress cannot count her doves.
See what doves are in the picture? (On the screen is a slide with pigeons and an example for this picture.)
Children: White 3 and gray 2.
teacher: Did the sorceress correctly make an example of how many white and gray doves were together? (3-2=5)
Children: Wrong.
teacher: You have checkered leaves on your desks, write down the correct example of how many pigeons Chernilda had in total. (3+2=5, check with children, work in pairs).
Well done! All pigeons were returned. Let's remember where the evil sorceress lived?
Children: In the castle.
teacher: It turns out that in her castle, there were a lot of magical items, but during witchcraft, all the items got mixed up. You need to put all the magic items in their places. What rule must be followed?
Children: Items should not be repeated in rows or columns. (Children do the task all together at the blackboard.)
teacher: Well done, I see you are tired of doing Chernilda's tasks. Let's get some rest.
Phys. Minute.
Clap your hands so many times
We stomp our feet so many times
We'll jump so many times
We'll bend over now
We will swear just as much
Ah yes, the score is a game and nothing more.
The teacher each time shows the number on the number row, and the children perform the corresponding number of movements.
teacher: Among the magic items, Chernilda had a favorite pot for colors, she wanted all her pots to be the same, but she could not draw. You and I know how to draw, and we can help her make all the pots the same, such as her favorite. (at children pictures with pots, you need to finish the patterns on them)
teacher: See what grows in pots?
Children: Flower.
teacher A: Is it different, or the same flower?
Children: The same, but in different periods of its growth.
teacher: Use the arrows to arrange the pots in order of increasing flower.
Guys look at the blackboard. What happened to our flower of seven flowers? (answers children)
We completed all the tasks of Chernilda, she became kind and disenchanted our flower. Now let's close our eyes and make our wishes. I think they will definitely come true.
Stage 4: Final (reflexive).
teacher: That's the end of our Class. Who are we helping today? (answers children) Why did we help the evil sorceress?
Children: What would she disenchant flower of seven flowers and he could grant wishes again.
teacher: What was the most difficult for you? The most interesting? The simplest? (Answers children.)

Children, like tiny sponges, absorb information about the world around them. However, if one-year-old crumbs can only observe what is happening, then preschoolers are distinguished by the ability to analyze and reflect. They are already beginning to compare objects by quantity, establish connections between them, and solve logical problems. All these skills will certainly come in handy in school. And, therefore, parents should throw all their efforts into their development and maintenance. Mathematics for children 5-6 years old will help to cope with this task. Let's talk about the intricacies of teaching children this difficult, but very exciting science.
What preschoolers should know and be able to do
As a rule, children learn to count up to ten already at the age of three or four. Closer to school, parents introduce them to two-digit numbers and simple mathematical operations. In order for the children not to lose their knowledge, it is necessary to repeat the material covered, increasing its complexity over time.
According to teachers, children prepared for school should have the following skills:
- solve simple puzzles and tasks;
- own the concepts of "back-forward, top-bottom, right-left";
- subtract and add prime numbers;
- conduct a comparative numerical analysis using the words "greater, smaller, equal";
- independently count to ten and back;
- answer the questions: “what is the number?” and how many?";
- to carry out the division of a circle and a square into identical parts;
- know the geometric shapes of objects.
Children should master the listed skills at the age of 5-7 years. How quickly this happens depends mainly on the parents of preschool children, the children's craving for learning and the form of organization of lessons. Fortunately, today there are many manuals and workbooks for older preschool children. Take at least educational books from the “School of the Seven Dwarfs” or “Learning to Count” from Toru Kumon. Being engaged with children in special literature, parents will notice the first successes very soon. But how to properly teach a child of 5 and 6 years old mathematics in order not to make mistakes and not instill an aversion to the exact sciences?
Let's start with the fact that mathematics classes for children 5-6 years old should be held in a playful way. This way of mastering the material is optimal for preschoolers. If you just sit a child in front of textbooks, he can quickly get bored and switch his attention to something more interesting (landscape outside the window, bizarre patterns on the wall, etc.). As a result, such "burdensome" and "tedious" lessons will only cause irritation in him. And every invitation from parents to do math will be taken with hostility. Here are some other tips for organizing lessons:
- Engage only when the child is in a good mood. Attempts to force a preschooler to study without his desire can lead to absent-mindedness and poor concentration. Since children 5-6 years old have predominantly involuntary memory, it is much easier for them to remember information that causes positive emotions.
- Study regularly, periodically introducing something new into the lessons. It's no secret that small children get bored with monotony very quickly. And with the loss of interest, the information is unlikely to be deposited in the heads of young students. In addition, lessons should be conducted systematically so that preschoolers can constantly update their knowledge, develop their skills and abilities.
- If the child fails to do something or he cannot grasp the essence of the task, do not be nervous and annoyed. It is necessary to methodically explain the task to the preschooler until he has no questions left. Exaggerated parental demands and negative assessments of the child's actions can once and for all discourage him from doing mathematics.
- And finally one cannot "stand" over the children, forcing them to solve one problem after another. Although this method of teaching will lead to the assimilation of the material, it will discourage the preschooler from learning. Therefore, all classes should be held in an easy and interesting way. Developing mathematics for children aged 5-6 requires the child's involvement in the process, his direct participation in the development and solution of problems, personal initiative, the connection of fantasy and imagination. The combination of all these components is the key to effective learning.
L.G. Peterson, the developer of the elementary mathematical course “Player”: “Often, the preparation of preschoolers comes down to teaching them to read, write and count. According to studies, it is not those children who have a meager amount of skills and knowledge that face serious difficulties in primary school, but those who demonstrate passivity, do not want to think and learn something new. In this regard, the main goal of primary training should be the all-round development of the child: his creative and intellectual abilities, personality traits, motivational factors. In this case, special attention must be paid to the connection of fantasy and imagination. It is creativity, along with the ability to create and invent something new, that contributes to the formation of the personality of a preschooler, the development of his independence and cognitive interest.
card lessons
Consider a few exercises that contribute to the development of a child's mathematical abilities. To conduct them, you will need cards with numbers from 1 to 10. Of course, parents can quickly and easily make them. However, it is much better to involve a child in this process, entrusting him with the most interesting and responsible work. So, we are preparing educational cards. We offer the preschooler to independently divide the album sheet into four equal parts and cut out the cards along the lines. After counting 10 pieces, we give them to the child and ask them to write a number on each and draw the corresponding number of pictures. It can be circles, flowers, hearts, etc. If the child finds it difficult to write any numbers, you should help him with this. After the cards are ready, you can start classes:
"Put it in order"
This exercise will help the child remember numerical values and the concepts of "more - less". We ask the preschooler to arrange the cards in order, starting with the smallest and ending with the largest number. The exercise not only helps to consolidate the studied material, but also perfectly trains memory and imagination.
"Compare Numbers"
Having shown the child two cards, we offer to compare them. To begin with, the preschooler names the values of the numbers, then answers the question which of them is larger and by how many units. Then you should replace one of the cards and repeat the same questions. Such an activity can continue for a long time until the child loses interest in it.
"Count the items"
Since, in addition to numbers, various images are applied to the cards, it is worth asking the child to count them. You can also complicate the task by preparing sheets with drawings of various animals and a number series from 1 to 10. Having counted the number of animals, the preschooler must circle the corresponding number. As a rule, this exercise is very popular with children and does not cause them any particular difficulties.
"Missing Numbers"
The child holds the cards in his hands. An adult calls him two numbers, for example, 1 and 4. The young student finds these cards and puts them on the table at some distance from each other. Now he must fill in the gaps between the numbers and find the two missing links. Accordingly, these will be cards with the numbers 2 and 3.
Entertaining mathematics
Parents of preschoolers should be imaginative when designing activities. It is not at all necessary to conduct lessons while sitting at the table, when there are so many fascinating things and phenomena around. So why not use them for arithmetic purposes? For example, you can involve children in the preparation of their favorite dishes, whether it's pizza or apple pie. Ask your child to count out two cups of flour and let them pour them into the prepared bowl on their own. Have the preschooler bring five eggs from the fridge by carefully placing them in a bowl. Let the child independently add three spoons of sugar to the dough, etc. Such entertaining mathematics will not only give the child great pleasure, but will also be deposited in his memory for a long time.
Most likely, he himself will not understand that he is involved in the learning process. For example, when going to kindergarten in the morning, invite a preschooler to count the number of buttons on his shirt. And when you arrive at the hospital, determine the number of patients in the queue. And how many objects to count can be found walking down the street! Cars near the house, people at the bus stop, birds flying in the sky, floors of buildings - and this list is almost inexhaustible.
Alexandra, mother of eight-year-old Andrei: “My son and I learned to add and subtract at the age of 5. And they did it right away in the mind, without using chopsticks and bending fingers. We go somewhere, count the items, and then add 1 to them. For example, three cars are parked near the store and another one drives up to it. The son adds up in his mind and gives the answer. Later they began to add 2, 3, and so on increasing. Then they changed the order of calculations. They began to add more to the smaller number. This, of course, was given more difficult, but over time you got used to it. We walk a lot. At least - a daily "walk" to the garden and back. Now we are already attending a school, the road to which takes 20 minutes in one direction. So there is plenty of time. We finished with the score, now we began to learn English words by the same method.
Math Games
Many children with a humanitarian mindset tend to consider mathematics a rather boring science. However, it is enough to show the children the reverse side of this subject, as their opinion will change dramatically. Math games for children 5-6 years old will help adults with this. We list some of them:
"Count the Claps"
This game contributes to the development of not only mathematical abilities, but also auditory perception. Clapping your hands with different strength and frequency, you need to ask the child to count the number of strokes. You can complicate the task by asking the baby to reproduce what he heard.
"Hocus Pocus"
Taking several small items (candy, buttons), an adult clamps them in his fists and hides them behind his back. Next, the child is given a simple mathematical problem. For example: “I only have seven buttons. In my right hand I hold four, how many are clamped in my left fist? If the preschooler answered correctly, you can offer him to switch roles. Let him come up with a problem himself and calculate its solution in his mind. If the child gave the wrong answer, it is worth hiding the objects behind the back again, but in a different quantity.
"Find the Extra"
An adult cuts out several dozen pictures of various categories from magazines: transport, food, plants, furniture, etc. Next, you should lay out images of one subject on the table, adding a few extra objects to them. The child is given the task to count all the pictures, find "foreign" objects and name their number. Finally, the remaining images of the same category are counted.
"Name the Number"
This game is a group game. The adult leader becomes the center of the circle formed by the children and alternately throws the ball to the kids, calling any number. Each child, waiting for his turn, throws the object back, saying the next number in order. In this case, it is desirable to avoid repetitions.
Point drawing
When the child already easily copes with the above exercises, then you can offer him drawing by dots. This is a very exciting activity, since in most cases, it is not known what kind of picture will turn out in the end. Therefore, children are happy to connect the dots, drawing lines in order from one number to another.
Walking games
Many people remember such games from childhood. Their essence is that on the playing field the path is marked along which you need to get from one place to another. And the players take turns throwing the dice, counting the number of points that have fallen out and making a move, again counting. The account is limited to numbers from 1 to 12, but the child learns to add. For example, 3 and 6 points on the bones fell out. And the player's task is to calculate how many will be 3 + 6. He can make a move only after he gets the correct result. The whole family can be involved in the game process, it will be an exciting pastime.
"Shop"
This role-playing game is familiar to many adults. After all, little inventors periodically involve their parents in their fun. Here they become sellers and offer buyers to purchase products from them. Or they themselves come to the store for toys. Usually various pieces of paper act as money. But it would be much more useful to take a few real coins or buttons and make a very real settlement with the buyers. Over time, you can introduce the concept of "surrender". If the cheese costs 3 rubles, and the buyer gives one five-ruble coin, it is necessary to return the extra money to him. A child involved in the game will learn to count and simple mathematical operations much faster.
Eva, mother of seventh-grader Varya: “I taught my daughter to count mentally even before school. We started with the simplest numbers, then introduced two-digit and three-digit numbers. Now Varya is 12, she counts faster than me and dad. And the secret is very simple: the main thing is that the child is involved in the learning process. We introduced our daughter to money very early. Taking her out of the kindergarten, I first gave Varya 5 rubles for a piece of candy or chewing gum. She herself calculated whether she had enough money, how much she should have left, and so on. Gradually, the amount increased to 20 rubles. My daughter managed to divide it into several purchases, making the necessary calculations in her mind. Now mathematics is her favorite school subject, she consistently takes part in all the Olympiads.”
If the child refuses to count
Some children categorically refuse to learn counting skills even in a playful way. Often the reason for this is the wrong approach of parents to conducting classes. After trying a couple of times to work out with a preschooler according to the “sit and decide” scheme, many adults beat off their craving for mathematics for a long time. However, dislike for the account can be explained by the overload of the child with various developmental activities or sections. Or maybe the preschooler just does not like the reaction of parents to incorrect answers. And there can be many such reasons. How should parents behave if their children refuse to learn to count?
Stock up on patience
Perhaps the child does not understand mathematics due to his young age. After all, not all five-year-olds have the ability to calculate. In addition, humanitarian-minded preschoolers may ignore numbers until they are in first grade. On the other hand, many of them by this time already read quite fluently and even know how to write. Therefore, you should not react sharply to the unwillingness of the child to count. After all, being successful “on all fronts” is simply unrealistic.
Use the method of "coercion by persuasion"
If a preschooler has the ability to do mathematics, but simply does not want to learn, you need to convey to him the need for this process. After all, counting skills are indispensable. This should be talked about as often as possible, demonstrating this fact with real-life examples. So, moving with a child around the city by bus, a mother can tell him, “Please help me, my hands are busy. Get a change out of my jacket pocket, count out fifteen rubles and pay the fare. Oh, I completely forgot, you can't count. You'll have to manage on your own." Periodically creating such situations, you can gradually convince the child that it is time to learn to count.
Arrange "number attacks"
If the child does not want to perceive numbers, you need to surround him with them. To do this, prepare a lot of cards with numbers and pictures. By hanging sheets of paper around the perimeter of the apartment and focusing attention on them from time to time, it will be much easier to teach a child to count. It is also necessary to include numbers in speech as often as possible when communicating with a child. You can play hide and seek with him, loudly counting the time, learn verses from the category “one, two, three, four, five, the bunny went out for a walk”, show unobtrusive educational cartoons with the presence of numbers, etc. Over time, the preschooler will certainly be imbued with an interest in mathematics.
Do "sweet classes"
If a preschooler does not want to accept either classical or game methods of teaching counting, a win-win technique can be used. Perhaps no child will refuse sweets. So why not give the children the condition that they will only get candy when they can name the correct amount. This will spur the desire in preschoolers to quickly master the skill of counting.
Thus, mathematics for preschoolers is an insanely interesting and exciting science. The main thing is to choose the right form of education, which will be as pleasant and easy for the child as possible. Ideas for entertaining lessons are all around us, you just need to turn on your imagination and look at familiar things from a new angle.
