Ideas for Use

Make these counting mats reusable by laminating them or placing them in sheet protectors. This way kids can also use dry-erase markers and can reuse the mats!

Offer kids fun manipulatives to use with these mats. Play dough is always a great way to get kids engaged and working with their hands. After tracing and counting the images, have kids roll small play dough balls and place them on the ten frame. To reinforce counting have kids push down on the play dough to count again after placing the balls on the mat.

Do your kids love mini erasers? Mine sure do! Have your little learner place mini erasers on the ten frame to show each number.
