Math matching eggs
Skills
Use plastic eggs from Easter as a fun learning tool.
Plastic eggs leftover from Easter are a fun learning tool for practicing equations.
Math fact plastic eggs can easily be individualized for your child's learning level. The eggs can reinforce addition, subtraction, multiplication or division, depending on what your child is learning at school.
- Write a number sentence (such as "2+2=") on one side of the egg and the answer ("4") on the other.
- Mix up the halves, maybe even hiding them around the house like a post-Easter egg hunt.
- Have the children find and assemble the matching halves.
To adapt the game for younger children who are just learning their numbers, put a number of dots on one side of the egg and the corresponding numeral on the other.
