Where's the bear?
Give each child a small toy and a cup. Call out a preposition and they place the toy: on the cup, under the cup, beside the cup. Then they write one sentence about where the toy ended up. Doing it first makes the word mean something.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
