Preschool Math Lesson Plans

12 plans covering the math topics preschool actually teaches. Each one is a full lesson: objective, timed steps, a check for understanding, and the practice pages to hand out.

What math looks like in preschool

Preschool math is counting things you can hold. Children match a number word to a quantity, notice shapes in the room, and sort by colour and size. Nothing is written independently yet.

Preschool is about exposure, not mastery. Sessions are short, adult-led and hands-on, and success looks like joining in rather than finishing a page. Everything here suits ages 3 to 5.
