Fish bowl Math Activity

Fish Bowl Preschool Math Activity

Today I'm sharing a fun, low cost, fish bowl math one-to-one correspondence activity you can make for under $3! The Dollar Tree is one of my Favorite places to purchase items for DIY Educational Games, but it's quite possible you already have these items around the house or classroom already. 

Fish bowl Number Correspondence Activity

One to One Number Correspondence is an important skill for your preschooler. This beginning math game focuses on learning to count to 5, although it can easily be differentiated for children who have mastered this skill (see my variations section for ideas).

These fish bowl decor sheets are perfect for pairing this activity with your Pets Preschool Theme! Similar sheets can be found in other themes to support a variety of Preschool Themes. 

Supplies you will need

For this game you will need:
1. Fish bowl Decor Sheets (found in the teacher supply section of the Dollar Tree)
2. White or Blue Pom Poms (Craft Section of the Dollar Tree)
3. Permanent Marker: I already had this at home, but they do sell them at the Dollar Tree (Office Supply Section).
4. Plastic Tweezers (Optional): Tweezers add an additional fine motor component to the activity, I already own a pair, but they can also be found in the teacher supply section. 

Directions

Step 1. Take out 5 Fish bowl Sheets
Step 2 . Number the Sheets 1-5 with your Marker
Step 3. (Optional) Laminate Sheets for durability

Directions for Play:
Place the fish bowl sheets on the table and provide your child 10 pom pom "Bubbles". Children place the corresponding number of Pom-Pom "Bubbles" on each sheet.
Variations:
  • Children can use the Tweezers to pick up the pom poms for a more challenging activity (and fine motor practice)
  • You can increase the numbers from 6-10, or 10-20
  • For older children you can write out simple Addition or Subtraction problem on each sheet (2+1, 4-1, etc.)
  • This can be a cooperative game where everyone adds bubbles to one sheet (Practice Sharing & Taking turns)
  • Create a Spin and Count game by picking up a spinner at the dollar tree
  • Add a few bubbles to the mat, and have your child figure out "how many more" bubbles to add to equal the number on each mat.
