Road Trip Math Games


ROAD TRIP MATH GAMES

Jun 18, 2020


Road trips are filled with lots of interesting things to spot. Use these
counting games to help your child keep track!


MATERIALS

 * 
   notepad
 * 
   pencil or pen


DIRECTIONS

On your next trip, invite your child to choose something fun to look for and
keep track of how many you see. (For example, stop signs, fire hydrants, baby
strollers, or people on bikes. Or, on longer trips, your child might pick
trucks, bridges, or farm animals.)

1

Help your child think of a simple way to make a mark on a piece of paper (such
as an X, a circle, or a slash or line) every time the item is spotted. Each mark
will be equal to one item seen.

2

Provide a notepad and pencil, and let the look-out begin! As your child
searches, each time the item is spotted, remind your child to make a mark on the
notepad.

3

How many of the items were spotted? At the end of the trip, help your child
count up the marks.


PARENT TIPS:

 * This activity helps your child with counting, one-to-one correspondence, and
   representation.
 * As you child becomes more experienced, increase the attributes of the item to
   two (such as red cars, or yellow street signs). This gives your child
   practice with coordinating attributes, another important sorting skill.
 * You might also suggest your child look out for two objects, such as taxis and
   dogs. Help make two columns for recording. Later, you can compare the number
   of marks for each object.
