Math games for preschoolers: counting, number lines and adding up

Early math is mostly about quantity: how many, more or fewer, what comes next and how numbers fit together. Maestri World puts those ideas into things children already love, like trucks, cranes, races and planes.

At the port, trucks, a ship and a train arrive wanting a number, and children load numbered containers with a big crane until it adds up. The number race is a board game on a straight numbered road against a friendly turtle, going on to 20 and then 100. The airport flies a plane through numbered rings up and down a number line, and the warehouse sorts boxes, fills orders and works out how many more to order.

FAQ

Questions parents ask

What math can most 5-year-olds do?

The CDC’s milestone checklist says most children can count to 10 and name some numbers between 1 and 5 when you point to them by age five. The games start below that and go well past it.

Do the math games need reading?

No. Numbers are shown as digits and as things to count, and every question is spoken.
