Description
Build number sense for numbers 1 to 20 with these hands-on Count and Stack counting mats and cut and paste worksheets, designed for kindergarten students! Students count the picture in each box, then stack a tower of snap cubes, linking cubes, or stackable counters to match. Every number shows up in a different way, from ten frames, dice, and tally marks to gumball machines, school buses, and number words. Print the color mats and laminate them for math centers, or use the matching cut-and-paste worksheets for no prep independent practice and a quick check of what each student can do on their own.
