There's nothing like math to lend itself to a hands-on lesson. Math skills can be developed through all kinds of activities – while playing with blocks, drawing shapes, or building a playhouse through trial and error. Use these activities as-is, or as jumping off points for your own lessons. Each of these activities makes use of everyday materials, so students can also practice the same skills at home as well as in the classroom.
