How to Use These Counting Mats

This versatile set can be enjoyed by children at various stages of math concept development. I recommend laminating the mats and cards to make them durable. Alternatively, you can place them in a page protector or plastic sleeve like this one.

Use with manipulatives such as these gold coin counters, or use the provided printable counters
Trace the number with your finger or use a dry erase crayon/marker. You can even roll out the number shape with play dough!
Roll play dough balls or use plain beads or pompoms to fill in the ten frames with the correct quantity
