About this resource

Apple Counting to 10 Playdough Mats Students will love filling apple baskets while practicing essential early math skills with these autumn-themed counting mats. Each of the 10 included mats features numbers 1 through 10. To use, students will form small balls of playdough and place them onto the corresponding mat to represent apples, reinforcing counting skills and one-to-one correspondence. These hands-on mats can be implemented in small groups, centres, morning work, or as individual practice. Skills reinforced include rote counting to 10, one-to-one correspondence, and fine motor development. If playdough is unavailable, teachers can substitute pom poms, buttons, bingo chips, or other small manipulatives. These printable mats offer a festive fall activity to liven up essential early math practice.
