Count to Ten

This is the Count to Ten floor mat. This mat is formatted like a number line, in which each box contains a number, the number word, and dots to help young learners hop from zero to ten. Each number alternates in color, but all multiples of 2 are colored blue to assist with early skip counting practice. The Count to Ten mat can be used to help students with number identification, one-to-one-correspondence, counting, cardinality, addition, and subtraction within ten, making ten, decomposing a number leading to ten, skip counting by 2’s and odd and even numbers.
