M & M Math Pattern Cards

This post may contain affiliate links.

We found a really fun book at the library this month, called The M & M Counting Book. When I saw it I knew we could do some fun things with it! We have been using the book do do some fun (and yummy) M & M math.

M & M Counting & Pattern Cards

The book has you play with M & M’s making patterns, adding and subtracting by eating them! Give your kids a handful of M & M’s and read it with them- they will just love it!  The book inspired me to want to do some more fun things with M & M’s.  I made some printable pattern cards that you can use to further engage your kids in playing and eating M & M’s. They won’t even know they are doing math…

(Just FYI, this book is an older edition and has the tan M & M’s in it instead of the blue ones. I think there is a newer one, though.)

The cards I made have some that are easier for younger kids and some of them are a little more difficult with addition problems.Printable M & M pattern cards

Since learning is always so much more fun with food ( & especially candy!) we had lots of fun with this one! I hope your kids will enjoy doing M & M math with this printable, too.

  1. OH MY I LOVE THESE!!! OK I can go to normal font! These are amazing! My son will love these! Already printed!! I am going to laminate them to hold up to his use….now I just have to decide how often he can play with them, because we don’t eat too much candy, but I will make an exception for these 🙂

  2. 🙂 We had that book at one time. I’ll have to set one of the kids to work looking for it. With a dozen bookcases in the house, it’s hard to know where any given book is. (Despite the fact that I organized all the books by categories when we moved in here 2 years ago, sigh.)

    I know my younger ones would love some M&M math. 🙂

  3. This would definitely get kids interested in math!

    Thank you for stopping by the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop this week. We hope to see you drop by our neck of the woods next week!

  4. Thanks so much for sharing. I am a teacher turned stay at home Mom to five children of which I homeschool our little guy with Down Syndrome. Candy is always a fun way to learn:). I was wondering if you would share where you got the M&M clipart. I have been looking for it to create other learning things for my little guy. I try to create lots of file folder games to keep him interested and having fun learning. Thanks.

  5. Looking for free printable M&M cards. My great grandson visits me and is very bright. He will be two shortly. His mother doesn’t like to give him candy and thought if she saw the cards she might be interested in the book.

    thank you,
