Roll and Trace

Material(s): Ten Frame Mat, Marker objects like bean bags, dice

Have a student roll a die and make that number with their bean bags / marker objects on the ten frame. Have students trace the numbers with their two fingers (pointer and middle) and say the number.

More or Less

Add to the above activities by asking the student the following questions:

What is (one, two, etc.) more than the number they made?
What is (one, two, etc.) less?

Make the Number

Create flashcards with numbers 1-10. Show a student a card and have him or her place the correct number of markers on the mat. Repeat several times with different numbers. Have them “check” their work by hopping the numbers and counting.

Extension: After making the number, ask them how many squares are empty.

What’s My Number?

Put markers (e.g., bean bags) on each square from 1 to 7. Have the student tell you how many markers you have by hopping and counting each hop all the way to 7. Repeat several times with different numbers.

Extension: Ask how many more hops it would take to make ten. Have them show you to prove or disprove their guess.

Least Common Multiple

Requires two different skip counting mats.
Line up two skip counting mats. Tell students you will be comparing these two factors and finding least common multiples. Have one student on each mat. Instruct one student to hop on the multiples going up their mat, shouting out the multiples as they hop. Then, have the second student do the same on the second mat. When the class hears the second student call out a duplicate number, they yell to the second student to stop. Check to see if they found the least common multiple (LCM) or just a common multiple.

Example: Find the LCM of 8 and 12. Line up the Skip Counting by 8s and 12s mats side by side. One student jumps 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, up the mat. Then, the other jumps 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96…the class yells, “STOP!”

Division with Remainders

Give students a dividend that will have a remainder when divided by twelve. Have them find and stand on the dividend on the mat. Have them jump and count the number of spaces it takes to reach the next lowest multiple of twelve. The number of spaces is the remainder number. Have them hold it up on their fingers. Then, have them follow the procedure for dividing while keeping the initial “remainder” number on their fingers.

Example: Give them the number 50. They will find and stand on 50 and take two jumps to land on 48. Holding 2 on their fingers, they then jump the multiples to zero, counting how many jumps it takes out loud. When they get to zero, they recite, “Fifty divided by twelve is four remainder two.”

Bean Bag Baseball Game

Divide your class into teams (the number of teams and the number of students on each team will depend on how many students you have). Place a bucket/basket at the end of the floor mat.

Have one team line up in a single file line behind zero. The other team will wait off to the side of the mat until it is their turn “at bat.” The goal of the bean bag game is to get the most bean bags into the bucket before all of the rounds/innings are over. You can determine how many rounds you play.

Give the first player a multiplication by twelve question. Have them hop to their answer and make sure they are correct. If the answer is correct, they will try to toss their bean bag into the bucket at the end of the floor mat. If they are incorrect, they get a ‘strike’ and do not get to toss their bean bag. Repeat with the next student in line. You can decide how many ‘strikes’ each team gets before switching to the next team.

Clipboard Math

For enjoyable math practice, clip a multiplication and/or division by 12s worksheet on a clipboard.
Have your students figure out the answers to the math problems by using the mat.

Division

Give a student a division by twelve problem (verbally, flashcard, worksheet, etc.).
Example: 36 ÷ 12
The student will begin on the first number of the problem, 36. Then, they will jump back to zero on the multiples of 12. How many hops did it take to get back to zero? 3!
