Counting

Has anyone been dying to know what is on the back of this? Well here it is...

I call it a counting grid. I split the paper into 6 equal squares and then glued it on the back of the color sorting mat, wrote the numbers 1-6 in each square and then laminated the whole thing. When I did this with Caden I was giving him a lot of help. I would give him the exact number of counters he needed for each square and we would count them out together. He really liked it and it's a great way to give him a visual of the amount each number stands for. Older kids could do this all on their own and you could make the back have the numbers 7-12. You could also use buttons, little dinosaurs, stones, legos or any other little thing you have a lot of. Happy Counting:)
