Christmas Number Sense Seek and Find Activities

These Christmas themed seek and find number sense activities allow students to practice counting images up to 10. With this set of subitizing math mats, preschoolers and kindergartners will get a lot of practice recognizing numbers and counting up to 10. Students will be able to practice counting dominoes, tally marks, ten frames as well as recognizing number words up to 10.

What Is Included:

• There is one mat for 0-5 and one mat for 0-10.

• There are subitizing cards with dominoes, tally marks, ten frames and number words for students to use to hunt on each mat.

How to Use:

Students will take one of the subitizing cards. They will then count the objects on the card and cover, trace, color, or dot the number on their themed number mat. Students can use mini erasers, bingo chips, pom poms, or other small manipulatives to cover the correct numbers. Laminating mats allow students to use dry erase markers to trace each number.

Where to Use:

• Morning Tubs or Baskets - Teachers can place these mats and manipulatives in a morning bin and students can complete this activity while their classmates arrive to class.

• Math Center - Place the manipulatives and mats in a math center for students to complete independently or with a partner.

• Small Group Activity - Teachers can pull aside small groups of students who need extra practice with subitizing and number sense activities to work on these mats to target this skill.

• Sub Plans - The low prep nature of this activity makes it an easy activity for substitute teachers to prepare and assign to students.

This Christmas subitizing activity is a low prep activity for teachers to prepare for students. The mats just need to be printed out and placed in the desired location. The cards need to be printed and cut apart. The teacher just needs to add the chosen manipulatives for students to use to complete each mat.

Skills Assessed:

• Counting to 10

Students will love covering or tracing the numbers on their mat. The fun Christmas theme will keep students engaged as they count to 10.
