Children's and adult mathematics project "Journey to the land of fun mathematics"
Project duration (time of project work): 7 weeks.
Project participants: Children of primary preschool age (1st group), teachers, parents.
Educational area: social-communicative, cognitive, speech, artistic-aesthetic, physical.
Relevance: Within the framework of the Federal State Educational Standard it is stated that the problem of mental education of preschool children, the basis of which is sensory education, is of great importance. A child’s sensory development is the development of his perception and the formation of ideas about the external properties of objects: their shape, color, size, position in space, as well as smell, taste, etc.
The task of upbringing and education at an early age is to develop and maintain the activity of each child, to evoke his desire to act, communicate, play, and solve practical problems.
During the observations, it was revealed that not all children have developed the perception and formation of ideas about the external properties of an object.
In order to provoke and support cognitive activity, to interest the child in a mysterious object and to encourage independent experimentation, I chose the theme of the project “Journey to the Land of Fun Mathematics.”
Hypothesis: The organization of game exercises to distinguish the number, size, shape of objects and the development of spatial orientation creates the necessary basis for the successful formation of cognitive actions and skills at the next age stages of the child’s development.
Project goal: Creating favorable conditions for the formation of elementary mathematical concepts in children of the first junior group.
Project objectives:
- Replenishing the developmental environment of the mathematical center with games and aids created jointly with parents;
- To instill in children an interest in knowledge of mathematics;
- Reinforcing the concepts one, many, big, small;
- Formation of ideas about the concept of none;
- Formation of ideas about the shape of an object (circle, square, triangle);
- Formation of perception of spatial relationships;
- To promote the development in children of attention, intelligence, ability to think logically, reason, and draw conclusions;
- Expansion of passive vocabulary, activation of speech;
- Development of speech breathing;
- Creating a friendly team of children and parents.
Project support:
Methodological: I.S. Pogudkina “Educational games, exercises, complex activities for young children.” From the experience of working on the “Childhood” program.
Diagnostic and didactic: Fiction, illustrations.
Expected result:
- The child shows cognitive activity;
- The child compares, classifies and reflects the results in speech;
- The child has an idea of shape, color, size, quantity;
- A friendly connection is established between the child, parent and teacher.
Project activity products:
- A system of classes that includes a variety of games and exercises aimed at developing mathematical concepts;
- Card index of didactic sensory games for children 2-3 years old;
- Album “Learning colors”;
- Application “Gift for Mishutka”;
- Consultation for parents “Fun math at home”;
- Sensory games (teachers and parents): Panel “Underwater World”, Didactic game “Rest the nesting dolls”, “Magic meadow”, “Help the hedgehog”, “Pick up a shoe”, “Find a house for the figure”, “Open a fairy tale”.
- Photo collage “Journey to the land of fun mathematics.”

Possible risks of project implementation:
Reluctance of some parents to participate in joint activities. To eliminate this risk, consultations (conversations) with parents are provided in order to understand the significance of these activities.
Further development of the Project:
Development of a children’s and adult project “We are friends with mathematics” (junior group 2).
