Materials & Number Cards
Activity, Stage 1 – Materials
Introduction
You only need a few materials for these Early Family Math activities, and they are all very inexpensive and easy to get. Here’s a short list:
- Five dice
- A deck of playing cards
- String (optional)
- Sidewalk chalk (optional)
- Some stiff paper in various colors (optional)
Make Number Cards
Many EFM activities can be played using decks of playing cards. However, using a Number Card deck will help your child practice ideas that will not be emphasized with regular playing cards. Make your own cards using card stock or any thick paper. You can either use the PDF supplied in Resources or draw your own.
