Math Clip Art Ideas from Pre-K to Grade 5
- Pre-K: Shape friends and the red circle on schedules, shape hunts and circle time. Hide shape cards around the room and let kids find them.
- Kindergarten: Ten frames and the number one for number of the day. Count real objects and match them to the counters.
- Grades 1 and 2: The number line and the operation symbols for addition and subtraction centers. Coins from the money clipart page add a counting money station.
- Grades 3 to 5: Fraction pies, fraction circles and the calculator for word problems and test day signs. A clock picture helps with elapsed time.
Making a Shape Hunt or Math Center Card
A shape hunt takes ten minutes to make. Put the four shape outlines on a half page, add a tally box beside each one, and copy a class set. Kids walk the room and tally every circle, square and triangle they find.
For center cards, size each picture to about 2 inches. The PNG files are 1000 pixels square, and at 300 dpi they stay crisp up to around 3 inches. Laminate center cards so kids can write on them with dry erase markers and wipe them clean for the next group.

Shape Colors That Help Kids Learn

|---|---|---|
| Circle | Red | A clock face or a plate |
| Square | Blue | A cracker or a window |
| Triangle | Yellow or green | A slice of pizza |
