Math doesn’t have to be all paper and pencil; break out the math blocks, chips, bears, raisins, or candy corn to use them for math. Math is way more fun if they can eat their rewards if they get an answer correct.

Tips for Making Your Math Lesson More Interactive
Looking to spice up your math lessons? Here are some easy tips to make learning math fun and engaging!
- Games: To make your math lesson more interactive, try using games and activities that get the students involved.
- Encourage Teamwork: Instead of just talking about the concepts, let them work in pairs or small groups to solve problems together.
- Add Challenges or Competition: You can use tools like quizzes or online platforms where they can compete against each other in a fun way.
- Real-life Examples: Incorporating real-life examples, like budgeting for a party or measuring ingredients for a recipe, helps them see how math is practical in everyday life.
- Ask Open-ended Questions: Lastly, ask questions and encourage students to share their thoughts to keep the conversation going and make them feel part of the lesson.

Recommended Fall Activity Kits
If you want ready-to-go resources, I suggest starting with these printables. They’re colorful, engaging, and perfect for preschool-aged learners.
Supplies You’ll Want to Have on Hand
- Fall leaves (real or paper cutouts)
- Acorns or small counters
- Candy corns
- Construction paper and markers
- Glue sticks and scissors
- Printable math activities
- Printer (I have this one)
- Crayons or watercolor paints
- Small containers or bowls for sorting
I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s no longer available. It’s been running well for years now. Consider another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
