Making STEM fun with Classroomscreen

5 min

Discover fun, hands-on STEM and math activities designed specifically for kindergarten and early years classrooms.

Classroomscreen makes it easy for early childhood educators to create an interactive learning environment that boosts number recognition, shapes, and simple science exploration—all while keeping little learners engaged.

Why Early Years (EY) STEM is essential

Young children thrive with activities that are interactive and visually appealing. By integrating STEM concepts in kindergarten and early elementary, you build a strong foundation in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. These early experiences help children develop a positive attitude toward math and science, setting them up for lifelong success.


Fun & interactive math resources

Solving problems together

Use our Annotation bar or Draw widget to write numbers and draw simple addition problems on your interactive whiteboard. This method helps young learners connect numbers with real objects.

tip:

Give this a try with Taylor's template Let's Race!

Practicing counting with one-to-one correspondence

Use images of everyday objects—like apples, blocks, or animals—and let students count together. This ready-made activity called Picture counting reinforces one‑to‑one correspondence and number recognition.

example:

Teaching slightly older children? For an engaging, movement-based math review, try the Stand up, Sit down template, where students stand for correct answers and sit for incorrect ones.

Exploring shapes, measurements & patterns

Each screen in our Pattern practice template displays a different type of pattern, from colors to shapes. We've also included a free printable worksheet so students can practice independently or create their own patterns, reinforcing recognition and sequencing skills.


Engaging science activities for early learners

STEM for younger kids is all about wonder and discovery! Classroomscreen helps keep science activities organized and engaging. Science-related activities, such as using building blocks, building marble runs or a fun egg drop, require good group management.

Let’s explore the widgets you might need to keep students on task

  • Randomizer: Use it for answering questions, sharing ideas, or picking helpers for activities.
  • Dice: Roll virtual custom dice to create fun math games or save hunting down their physical counterparts later!
  • Traffic light: Use the Traffic light widget to let students show how confident they feel about a new concept or to indicate when to begin work.
  • Stickers: Show what supplies you need using our Supplies sticker sheet which includes lego, rulers, pencils and more.

What’s the weather like today?

While there is no weather widget, you can use the Weather tracker screen to display daily weather observations for younger students. You can also embed various whether websites into your screen using the Embed widget.

example:

Ask your class whether it is sunny, cloudy, or rainy and drag the appropriate whether to each box.
