Many people think that mathematics is very difficult.

In fact, all children are talented mathematicians at an early age. They easily master ordinal counting, the concepts of “more” and “less,” perform simple arithmetic operations, and memorize geometric figures. You can support this natural ability with the help of games, counting rhymes and rhyming riddles.

The proposed selection will introduce children not only to numbers, but also to measures of length or drawing tools. Moreover, he will do it in a fun way, giving other useful information along the way: about animals, cardinal directions, colors of the rainbow and much more.

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.

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.
