Around here, math and numbers are life. They're definitely my son's love language (he's hypernumeric after all). So we've done a lot of number and math activities over the years.
Even if an activity didn't start off as a math activity, it usually ended up as one somehow. That means, what you see here is just a starting point. You'll find lots of hints of math and numeracy throughout the blog.
But if you're looking for math activities for kids, you're certainly in the right spot because there's tons of ideas here. I did say numbers and math were my son's love language after all!
