Penguin Count and Cover Mats

Are you looking for a hands-on, differentiated way for your students to learn counting, number recognition and number sense? These penguin count and cover mats are perfect for you!

They require no-prep other than printing and slipping into write and wipe pockets or laminating. No cutting involved.

I even made them in color AND black and white so that those of you who can’t print in color will still be able to use them.

They would be a great addition to your winter lesson plans.

Develop number sense and practice counting with this winter math activity.

Differentiated Math Ideas

What’s even better is that they are differentiated for the different needs of your students. Some students can work on numbers 1-5, others can work on 1-10, and your more advanced group can use the 11-20 mats.

There are mats with numbers, ten frames, and twenty frames so you can differentiate even further by using the different types of mats.

Students can also work with a buddy or on their own while using these fun count and cover mats.

Add in fine motor work by having students use kid-safe plastic tweezers to move the mini erasers to the spaces on the mats.
