How we use the Winter Counting Mat Printables

Setting up the Winter Counting Mat

Each of the mats has the number written out, a number for playdough, and ten frames. You can see how I set up each of the mats. I used playdough, the winter kids, and snowflakes (I got our at Michaels a few years ago). You can mix up the kids that they put on the mat. There are 10 different ones to pick from.

You can also use this winter counting activity with the counting mats.

Using the Winter Counting Mat

I often laminate the pages if we are going to use them often. But if I’m out of laminating sheets I’ll use a sheet protector on the pages. Plus that makes it easy to store. I just put all the pages in the sheet protector.

You can see how we placed the snowflakes in the ten frames and use the kids on the mat. This is fun to see what kids they will pick each time.

  1. I love these! Would it be possible to add one without the numeral & word? I’d like to say make ” “, now change it to ” “. And also use for addition & subtraction problems. Thank you for considering this. 🙂

    1. I’m glad you like them. I’m sorry but all free printables come as is. There are some sets that have matching addition and subtraction mats. The winter mat is not one that has it. I hope that you continue to enjoy the mats.
