Teach Pre-K math with confidence all year long! This comprehensive curriculum includes 15 playful units and 150 lessons filled with songs, movement, hands-on center mats, dramatic play integration, detailed lesson plans, assessments, and printables—everything you need to make early math fun and meaningful.
What is Pre-K Math?
Pre-K Math units are teacher-created, kid-tested, and most importantly kid-approved! Pre-K Math takes away that monotonous way of teaching math where students sit and listen to the teacher TEACH math. Instead, Pre-K Math encourages guidance from the teacher while the students TEACH and LEARN math through hands-on and engaging math activities with their partners.
Pre-K Math units are made up of 10 instructional days each, but can be adjusted to fit your classroom needs. The units include assessment pieces as a way to ensure student growth over the unit. These are just a few highlights you’ll see using the Pre-K Math Units; kids talking about math, kids using manipulatives, activities that are fun + engaging, learning that requires critical thinking!
Pre-K Math curriculum is a 35 week math curriculum that includes lesson plans that break down a 60 minute block math time into these sections {movement, rhythm, whole-group lesson, small-group lesson and apply & practice}. The units will also include any and all cards needed to make the lessons successful! You will just need to provide the manipulatives like teddy bears or cubes!
Pre-K Math is a simple print and teach math curriculum. No more tracking down ideas, worksheets, cards, etc! I have it covered!

I have been busy prepping this resource to use in my preschool classroom this fall. It will be such a great resource to use! I can tell there are so many different options to use and help my students excel in math!
My students loved the different characters in the lessons, super easy to teach and the worksheets were great. I saw a lot of improvement in my students abilites from adding this resource. I would buy again.
This comprehensive Pre-K Math curriculum has been a game-changer in my TK classroom. The 35-week program breaks down a 60-minute math block into movement, rhythm, whole-group lessons, small-group instruction, and apply & practice sessions. The inclusion of interactive notebook pages, assessment trackers, vocabulary cards, and center mats ensures that every lesson is both engaging and effective. My students have shown significant growth in their math skills, and I appreciate how the curriculum supports differentiated instruction.
I was a little nervous to buy the whole bundle and spend that amount of money at once, but this entire curriculum has been a life saver. I teach 3-6 year old deaf children with low language and all of the math activities have been so engaging and fun. They enjoy all parts of it. It also allows the least amount of prepping for me to focus on other things in my planning/prepping time. I am so very thankful that I purchased the whole curriculum. If you plan to use this, I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND purchasing the slides that go along with it! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I loved using this resource with my preK students! The posters were incredibly helpful to help students understand concepts! The worksheets are simple but effective- perfect for the younger groups!
I LOVE this curriculum! Everything is so well organized and planned out which leaves me to do very little prep. I like how the curriculum has activities I can do with my students in a small group or whole group. My TK students love singing the songs to every lesson and have been more engaged. I highly recommend this curriculum!!
I love using these worksheets for independent practice with my students! The students always understand the directions and I love that there are so many hands-on activities. The lesson plans are also really easy to follow!
This is a great math program to use in preschool. It covers all the foundational skills and the scope and sequence make sense. I also like using the slides that can be purchased separately to teach and then theses activities tin small groups.
