Free Flower Printables and Montessori-Inspired Flower Math Activities

My themed post for the 15th of the month is flowers … perfect for May! Today, I’m sharing the links to free printables I’ve used to create Montessori-inspired flower math activities for preschoolers through first graders.

Flower Math Activities for Preschoolers-Grade 1

Roll and Build a Flower Activity

The Roll and Build a Flower Activity uses the Flower Unit {Expanded} from A Teaching Mommy. I just used an inexpensive wooden tray and a basket from a hobby store for the activity.

Leaves on the Flower Stem Counting Activity

This activity uses the Leaves on the Flower Stem Counting from Mr Printables. You could make this activity easily by printing out and laminating the 2-D printables. I had found 3 adorable little clay pots for $1 at the Dollar Tree, so I wanted to make a 3-D activity.

The activity as I made it required delicate cutting after I printed and and laminated the printables. Then I added Velcro dots to the numbered circles for the flowers and the flower. I added Velcro circles to the leaves as well. I glued a bamboo skewer to the back of the stem so that it would stand up, and I inserted the stem into the pot filed with black beans. The tray was an inexpensive tray from the grocery store, and I used small containers to organize the numbered circles and the leaves.

Hundred Chart Art Flower

For this activity, I used another A Teaching Mommy Printable – from Flower Unit {K Extension}. The flower in the photo is the control chart with the numbered chart and directions underneath it. I used glass gems from the hobby store and a small glass bowl from Montessori Services.

Grid Work Tulip

The grid work tulip uses Grid Work Tulip from Making Learning Fun. This is a fun introduction to grid work that will be useful later on in math work. It’s also a good way to emphasize number- and letter identification. I used mini glass gems and a glass candle coaster to organize the gems on the tray. I also used a sugar tong from Montessori Services for an added practical life activity.

Add the Flowers Activity

Add the Flowers printable is from 3 Dinosaurs’ Spring Pack Update. I used glass candle coasters to organize plastic flower gems from the hobby store (Michaels).

You can find some ideas for presenting hands-on addition activities in my Montessori-Inspired One Fish, Two Fish Math Activities post. There are printables for counting, subtraction, and greater than/less than as well in the 3 Dinosaurs pack, so you can choose the concept or concepts that are best for your child or students.

Place Value Flowers

The free Place Value Flower Pots printable I used is no longer available. You could adapt the Place Value Flower Craft by Loving Math at TPT for a fun place value activity. I added a felt mat and Montessori golden bead materials for hands-on decimal system work.
