How to Use It

Step 1: Choose the activities you want for the week and print them in color or in black and white. To save on laminating, use a write and wipe pocket for the play dough mats and roll and make activities.

Step 2: Introduce new activities with the whole group or a small group, using Count the Room, the pocket chart sorting set or BINGO.

Step 3: Move the clip cards, puzzles, matching games and partner games into your math centers. On the play dough mats, children can use dry erase markers or crayons to trace the number words at the bottom of the sets.
