 directions and tips
Print, laminate, and cut out the mats. Another option would be to place
the mats in page protectors. You can also bind the mats to create a
book or place the mats on a book ring.

Build it mats are perfect for morning tubs, fine motor tubs, small
groups, early finishers, table time, an arrival activity, or a center activity.

The manipulatives fit exactly on the cards! Build directly on the mats.

If you need to save ink, print the cards in grayscale. Just select
grayscale in your printer settings when you go to print.

directions
Students identify the number or
count the ten frame to help
identify the number. Then build the
number with the manipulatives.
Last, they trace the numbers. If
you don’t want to use markers,
have students finger trace the
numbers!

Manipulative
Ideas
• Mini erasers
• Pom poms
• Gems
• Rocks
• Small cubes
• Buttons
• Play dough
