Math with Spielgaben

While I do create a lot of kindergarten math worksheets for my daughter, I also believe that learning can take place outside of worksheets. At an early age, math concepts need to use concrete items for kids to get a better understanding. I also don’t force the issue of writing when completing worksheets because the child may know the answer but balk at the physical act of writing and I don’t want that to hinder their math understanding.

We’ve set up a coffee table that is now the Spielgaben table and my daughter uses it for her math lessons. We have a great math curriculum but it uses a workbook so I just pull the questions from the teacher’s guide and we do our math lessons using the Spielgaben blocks.
