Mathematical logic puzzles for children. Mathematical riddles for children Mathematical riddles for children 8 years old
Riddles have that magical power that teaches, attracts, and develops. Mathematical riddles for children aged 5-7 years teach them to count in their heads, attract attention through the playful form of asking questions, and develop memory and thinking. In modern society it is difficult to do without basic knowledge of mathematics. Therefore, future first-graders are introduced to this science from kindergarten, developing their erudition with mathematical riddles for little ones. For example:
Two sharp ends have two rings,
So that they can live together,
I had to fasten it with a nail.
4 friends live together, and 1 lives separately.
(Mitten) 
5 boys each have 1 closet, and the entrance and exit are common.
(Glove) 
4 legs, but can't walk.
(Table) 
Dressed in 100 clothes,
Comes often for lunch
When he takes off his clothes,
Then people shed tears.
(Onion) 
Questions with jokes
Preschoolers, without realizing it, love healthy games. And if children's puzzles on the topic of “mathematics” for 4-5 years and older are presented in a humorous manner, then kids quickly get involved in the creative process, showing flexibility and tenacity of mind, highlighting the main emphasis in the riddle. It doesn’t matter that at first the answers will not always be correct, but the search for them is captivating and fascinating. The first victory inspires, creating a springboard for new successes and raising the child’s level to more complex mathematical riddles for preschoolers.
Children in the age group of 5-7 years can quite successfully joke and feel the jokes of their peers. If the child “saw through” the humor in the question, then his answer will be in the same spirit. There is no need to be upset if your preschooler has a weak sense of humor and therefore cannot cope with such riddles. In this case, patience is required to clearly explain what the feature is and try to ask one or more humorous questions. 
Development of logic
Children's mathematical riddles with answers are considered difficult when they contain elements of logic or the entire problem is based on logical reasoning. Here the child will have to think carefully and not be afraid of his conclusions. After all, logic is nothing more than a carefully and thoughtfully constructed chain of sequential thoughts leading to a final judgment.
Exact sciences do not like it when people are shy in front of them 
Indeed, mathematical riddles for 3-4 year olds in kindergarten are not as difficult as they seem. Young children can easily master the basics of this fascinating science. They can easily count, compare numbers, simple operations (addition, subtraction), and master the features of basic geometric shapes.
Also, the child will be able to cope quite well with children’s mathematical problems with answers for first-graders, which contain measures of length, drawing tools, and additional knowledge of biology, geography, and physics, taking into account age.
Each child has his own level of math ability. Developing interest in a subject truly works wonders, as it reveals a child’s potential to the maximum. And success gradually leads to independent conquest of new heights.
Reasoning, being able to prove, not being afraid to defend your position - these skills, acquired with the help of mathematical riddles for children 5 years old and older with answers, will give the treasured key to the fascinating Land of Exact Sciences.
It’s up to adults to keep kids interested in riddles. To do this, you need to diversify them, using a great variety of types of puzzles:
- on logic;
- decoys;
- coloring books;
- about geometric figures;
- Crosswords.
Mathematical riddles for preschoolers about animals and other topics, presented in different forms, firmly consolidate the acquired knowledge and arouse interest in it, which is very valuable for preparing for school.
Note to parents 
Mathematical riddles for future first-graders are offered to the child unobtrusively, filling their free time with them. As a result, certain abilities or interests of the preschooler are revealed, which are carefully complicated with riddles with elements of mathematics for 2nd grade students.
If the baby sees the parent’s goal in itself (“you must,” “you must”), then this may have the opposite result. If a child has no interest in numbers, it is better to leave targeted intellectual games for a while, and come to them as if by chance: in everyday situations, while watching cartoons, using visual examples while walking. Mathematical riddles for children 5-6 years old with answers will not leave any child indifferent if you approach it sensitively.
The grandmother invited her two grandchildren to visit and baked them pancakes. The grandchildren did not have enough to eat, they began to make noise and bang their plates on the table. How many grandchildren are silently waiting for more? (No one)
Polina needs 15 minutes to walk from home to school. How long will it take her if she goes with a friend? (15 minutes)
What is easier: 1 kg of sawdust or 1 kg of firewood? (They have the same weight) 
Tasya had 5 croissants on her plate. When the girl had breakfast, there were a couple of croissants left. How many pieces did Tasya eat? (3 croissants)
Mathematical riddles for 7-year-old children in the form of jokes and intelligence questions will always be in demand among children. As children grow older, they develop powers of observation, speed of thinking, search for answer options, and concentration. By strengthening mental abilities, the child will grow up inquisitive, kind and open to absorbing new knowledge.

ORDERAL COUNT
Count to two
The sun lifts us up to exercise,
We raise our hands at the command “one”.
And above them the foliage rustles merrily.
We lower our hands on the command “two”.
Count to three
Darkness lay all around.
One two Three -
Run, run!
Pinocchio stretched,
Once - bent over,
Two - Bent over,
Three - bent over.
He spread his arms to the sides,
Apparently I couldn't find the key.
To get us the key,
We need to stand on our toes.
Count to four
One day the mice came out
See what time it is.
One two three four -
The mice pulled the weights...
Suddenly there was a terrible ringing sound,
The mice ran away.
Counting to five
Fingers fell asleep
Curled into a fist. (Clench your fingers into fists)
One two three four five! (Extend your fingers one by one)
Wanted to play!
The sun looked into the crib...
One two three four five.
We all do exercises
We need to sit down and stand up,
Extend your arms wider.
One two three four five.
Bend over - three, four,
And stand still.
On the toe, then on the heel -
We all do exercises.
Count to eight
One, two - head up,
Three, four - arms wider.
Five, six - sit down quietly,
Seven, eight - let's discard laziness.
SEASONS: POEMS, RIDDLES AND PROVERBS
If a child has difficulty remembering the seasons, poems can help. Riddles are useful for reinforcing material.
Winter
I have a lot to do:
I'm a white blanket

I remove it into the ice of the river
White fields, houses
My name is... (winter).
It's getting cold.
The water turned into ice.
Long-eared gray bunny
Turned into a white bunny.
The bear stopped roaring
A bear hibernated in the forest.
Who's to say, who knows
When does this happen?
The days have become shorter
The sun shines little
The frosts are here,
And winter has come.
It was winter - there was cold, snow.
Winter is gone - and there is no snow.
Spring
I open my buds
In green leaves
I dress the trees
I water the crops
There is a lot of movement.
My name is... (spring).
We got up early today
We can't sleep today!
They say the starlings are back!
They say that... (spring) has come!

I brought the first honey.
Who's to say, who knows
When does this happen?
Summer
I am made of heat,
I carry the warmth with me,
I warm the rivers
I invite you to swim.
And love for it
You all have me. I... (summer).

Golden wheat.
Who knows who knows,
When does this happen?
Autumn
I bring the harvest
I am sowing the fields again,
I send birds to the south,
I strip the trees
But I don't touch the pine trees
And Christmas trees. I... (autumn).
Came without paints and without a brush
And repainted all the leaves.
What are the leaves whispering there?
Let's come and ask.
The leaves answer: autumn, autumn, autumn.

GAMES
Chain of examples
Target: to train children in the ability to perform arithmetic operations.
Progress of the game: two groups of participants sit on chairs - one opposite the other. One child takes the ball, says a simple arithmetic example: 3 + 2 - and throws the ball to someone from the other group. The one to whom the ball is thrown gives the answer and throws the ball to the player from the first group. The one who caught the ball continues the example, in which he must perform an action with a number, which is the answer in the first example. A participant in the game who gives an incorrect answer or example is eliminated from the game. The group of children with the most players left wins (suggested for children 6–7 years old who have successfully mastered arithmetic operations).
Guess the number
Target: strengthen children's ability to compare numbers.
Progress of the game: on the instructions of the presenter, the child must quickly name the number (numbers) less than 8, but greater than 6; more than 5 but less than 9, etc. The child who fulfills the conditions of the game receives a flag. When dividing children into 2 groups, the one who answered incorrectly is eliminated from the game.
Only one property
To play the game you need to make a special set of geometric shapes. It includes 4 shapes (circle, square, triangle and rectangle) in four colors (red, blue, yellow and white), small in size. The same set includes the same number of listed figures of the indicated colors, but larger in size. Thus, for the game (per participant) you need 16 small geometric shapes of four types and four colors and the same number of large ones.
Target: consolidate knowledge of the properties of geometric figures, develop the ability to quickly select the desired figure, describing it.
Progress of the game: two playing children each have a full set of figures. One (the one who starts the game) places any piece on the table. The second player must place a piece next to it that differs from it in only one way. So, if the first one puts a yellow big triangle, then the second one puts a yellow big square or a blue big triangle, etc. A move is considered incorrect if the second player places a piece that does not differ from it by more than one attribute. In this case, the piece is taken from the player. The one who is the first to be left without pieces loses. (Options are possible.)
The game is built like a domino. As the game progresses, players need to quickly orient themselves in color, shape, and size of figures, hence the impact on the development of logic, validity of thinking and actions.
Number series (for children of senior preschool age)
Target: consolidate knowledge of the sequence of numbers in the natural series.
Progress of the game: two children lay out cards with numbers from 1 to 10 face down in front of them. In this case, each of the children is given a certain number of cards with numbers (for example, up to 13). Some of the numbers appear twice in the set. Each player in order takes a card with a number, opens it and places it in front of him. Then the first player reveals another card. If the number indicated on it is less than the number of the card he opened earlier, the child places the card to the left of the first, if more, to the right. If he takes a card with a number already open, he returns it to its place, and the right move goes to his neighbor. The first one to lay out his row wins.
Name the number
Target: to train children in the ability to perform mental calculations.
Progress of the game: an adult or older child says: “I can guess the number you have in mind. Think of a number, add 6 to it, subtract 2 from the sum, then subtract the number you thought of, add 1 to the result. You get the number 5.” In this simple ingenuity task, the number in mind can be any, but to solve it you need to be able to calculate verbally.
How many candies should I take?
Target: exercise children in correlating the conditions of the task with the result.
Progress of the game: The condition of the problem is proposed: “there were 3 apples in the vase. Mom treated them to three girls. Each of the girls received one apple, and one remained in the vase. How did it happen?" The person solving the problem comes to an answer through reflection and correlation of conditions with the result. (one girl took the apple along with the vase).
