Spring Number Mats Spring Counting Subitizing Number Sense March Math Centers

Item description

These spring number subitizing to 10 and spring number search mats focus on number recognition and counting to 10.

Subitizing or number sense is an important skill that will benefit students in counting, composing and decomposing numbers. In this resource students will learn to recognize numbers, match numbers and number words, recognize patterns of dots, counting to 10, counting fingers and tally marks with a spring theme.

Included are 23 number and subitizing mats in color and black and white. 15 number mats focus on 0-10 and there are 8 number mats for 0-5. There are 3 types or versions of counting mats:

1st: Students count, find the number, color it then trace the number on the right.

2nd: Same mat as the first except students count and color. I also give my students manipulatives and get them to count out that many manipulatives in the empty space on the mat.

3rd: Fill in the five or ten frame using any manipulative you have on hand or you can use the fun counters provided in the printable.
