Use them independently, arrange\u00a0 them in number order, or extend the activity for older learners by using two colors of play dough\/counters\/etc. to create addition problems on the image and in the ten-frame (e.g. 2 water drop + 3 water drops = 5 water drops). The child might also complete two number mats to discuss greater than\/less than\u2014this offers a great visual representation to help young learners understand the concept of quantity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n There are three main \u201cactivity\u201d sections on every mat:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n the numeral <\/strong>\u2013 like all three sections, get creative with what you use! The child can simply use a dry erase marker to write the numeral within the numeral (upper right corner). <\/em>In the image above, play dough has been used to \u201dfill in\u201d the numeral. You could also use beads, pompoms, pipe cleaners, stones, beans\u2026anything!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n 10-frame<\/strong> representation<\/strong> \u2013 fill in the 10-frame (lower right corner) <\/em>to represent the numeral using bingo chips (pictured above), bits of play dough, glass vase fillers, gems, nuts\/washers\u2026anything!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n 1:1 counting section<\/strong> \u2013 in this section (left side of mat), <\/em>the child can \u201cwater the plants\u201d with the appropriate number of \u201cwater drops.\u201d In the image above, water drops were made using play dough, but again, you can use anything from buttons to beads! Also, instead of \u201cwatering the plants\u201d your child might imagine \u201dbugs\u201d crawling on the plants, or even \u201crays of sun\u201d on the leaves. On the 11-20 pages, the child can add \u201cfruit,\u201d \u201cblossoms,\u201d \u201cbirds,\u201d etc. to the tree!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n FYI:<\/strong> There are TWO different designs<\/strong> included: numbers 1 through 10<\/strong> are the potted plant design, and numbers 11 through 20<\/strong> are the tree design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These 10-frame Play Dough Write and Wipe Number Mats are a beautiful and calming way for preschool, kindergarten and first grade\/grade one kids to practice number formation and recognition.
