When my oldest was five, I came across this Scrabble addition activity from The Measured Mom and I knew he would love it, which he did.
So I decided to create him some fun themed Scrabble math worksheets like this New Year's themed one.
This New Year's activity for kids is a great way to introduce new vocabulary, practice some math skills, and work on spelling.
What You'll Need for this New Year's Activity for Kids

- Pencil
How it works is the child spells the words using the Scrabble tiles, putting the individual letters into the appropriate squares below the word.
Then they simply add up the numbers on the bottom of the tiles and fill in the correct answer.
Ideas on How to Extend this New Year's Activity
My oldest son J is a pro-star at math (he has hypernumeracy after all), so these ended up being way too easy for him. Not surprising though. He did, however, find ways to extend the activity on his own.
First, he noted that a lot of the words had the same score, so he graphed them.
Then we did a tally chart of how many words had certain scores.
He then told me which words had the most points and which one the fewest. Lots of math learning went on!
