Preschool Math: Measurement

Teaching non-standard measurement to Preschool students allows them to communicate their reasoning and mathematical thinking in a simple, yet fun, hands-on way! In Unit 7, students will learn about comparing weight, height, length, size, and capacity, and measuring using non-standard units (e.g. counting bears, snap cubes, paper clips, etc.). When students become comfortable and efficient in understanding and using these forms of measurement, they are able to eventually apply these skills to standard units and more complex data analysis.

The Preschool Math Made Fun curriculum helps make learning engaging for little learners all while covering the skills needed to move to the next level (Kindergarten Math Made Fun).

Here are the 7 Units that will be included in the Preschool Math Made Fun Curriculum:

Unit 1: Numbers 1-5

Unit 2: Numbers 6-10

Unit 3: Classify and Sort (Including Color Words and Positional Words)

Unit 4: Comparing Numbers 1-10

Unit 5: Patterns

Unit 6: Shapes

NO PREP Practice Pages- We all know that kids need a lot of practice to help master math concepts and to help them retain the knowledge. So I’ve made sure that each Preschool Math Unit will have a variety of fun NO PREP practice/worksheet pages for students to practice, practice, practice! These NO PREP practice pages allow students to master math concepts through cutting and pasting, coloring, dice games and more! Best of all, you can refer back to the Preschool Math Standards page and see which standard each page covers! Furthermore, you can connect these pages to a center that covers the SAME standard!

Measurement Posters

Unit 7 includes posters to help assist in teaching the concepts of height, length, width, weight, capacity and size.
