Fall Math Activities for Preschool (Free Printable Worksheets)
These fall math activities for preschool are five quick worksheets built around fall treats like donuts, pumpkin pie, cider mugs, cupcakes and wrapped candies. Each page works on one skill, so you can pull the one your child needs today and save the rest for later in the week. For more seasonal ideas, browse my fall activities and recipes.
The pages cover patterns, big and small, matching groups to numbers, counting to 10 and comparing two groups. Those are core early math skills for ages 3 to 5, and the pictures carry most of the work, so kids who are not reading yet can still do every page once you read the directions aloud.
Below you will find exactly what is in the free PDF, how to prep it, how to make each page easier or harder, and more fall math ideas from my site and a few blogging friends. The download is at the bottom of the post.
What’s Included in the Fall Math Printable
The free download is a 7-page PDF: a cover page, five activity worksheets and a terms of use page. Each worksheet has a name line at the top and one short direction.
- Fall Pattern (cut and paste): five rows of picture patterns using mugs, macarons, coffee cups, lollipops and candies. Kids cut out the five pictures along the bottom and glue each one into the empty square that finishes its row.
- Big or Small?: four pairs of fall treats (donuts, mugs, candies and cupcakes). Kids put a check on the big one and cross out the small one.
- Let’s Match!: five groups of fall objects to match to the numbers 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 by drawing a line.
- Let’s Count!: five rows of treats to count, with answers from 5 to 10. Kids write each number in the box at the end of the row.
- Comparing Numbers: five rows with a group of objects on each side. Kids count both groups and write greater than, less than or equal to in the circle. The three signs are printed at the top as a reminder.
How to Use These Fall Math Worksheets
Prep
Regular printer paper is fine. The Fall Pattern page gets cut and glued, so print a fresh copy each time and have safety scissors and a glue stick ready. The other four pages can go into sheet protectors or get laminated, and then a dry-erase marker makes them reusable all season.
Counters make the counting and comparing pages much easier for little hands. Mini pumpkins, pom-poms, buttons, dried beans or acorns all work. Kids set one counter on each picture as they count, then line the counters up in two rows to see which group is longer. Keep an eye on small counters with younger kids.
Handy for These Worksheets
Make It Easier or Harder for Ages 3 to 5
- Age 3: start with Big or Small, since it needs no counting at all. On the pattern page, say each row out loud together before cutting. On the counting pages, let your child point and count while you write the number.
- Age 4: use counters on Let’s Match and Let’s Count. If writing numbers is still hard, lightly write the answer in the box and let them trace it.
- Age 5: try Comparing Numbers on their own. Ask them to say the answer as a sentence, like “5 is less than 6,” then ask how many more the bigger group has.
Handy for Coloring Time
One Page a Day
Five worksheets fit neatly into a school week. Go from easiest to hardest: Big or Small on Monday, Fall Pattern on Tuesday, Let’s Match on Wednesday, Let’s Count on Thursday and Comparing Numbers on Friday. Each page is short enough to finish before a preschooler’s attention runs out.
