How to use these Printable Counting mats for learning Tens and Ones concept
In Kindergarten, my son is required to understand the concept of place value. I personally think that this was the most difficult concept to grab for him. And these number mats helped him understand Tens and ones concept.
So sharing these and what I did in case if it helps you.
Ask your child to place pom pom or stickers or playdough balls or any other item you have on the columns on the left. bottom. We used round stickers when doing this activity.
Then explain them that a group of ten stickers makes 1 ten.
And then ask your child – How many tens (group of ten stickers) can he see in individual number let us say 12. The answer is 1 and he will need to write 1 in ‘T’ part of rainbow.
You can then net ask them how many one’s in number 12. The answer is 2 and he will need to write 2 in ‘0’ part of rainbow.
This hands in activity helps them visualize number quantification and with practice they understand this concept.
Then you can ask your child to practise writing number 12 in the boxes on the right side of sheet.
