Ways to Use These 1 to 1 Correspondence Counting Mats

These versatile roll-and-cover 1 to 1 Correspondence Counting Mats can be used in multiple ways to accommodate your maths lessons in preschool, foundation year, and even year 1. You can also include them throughout the year for the following or learning opportunities.

• Maths centres: Students roll a die, count the matching number of objects, and cover them with counters or small manipulatives.
• Partner games: Pairs take turns rolling and covering until the whole page is filled.
• Independent practise: Perfect for quiet, focused maths time while reinforcing counting accuracy.
• Home learning: Families can print and play at home for extra number sense practise.
• Dot Day Maths: These resources make the perfect maths activity for International Dot Day. You can use them for counting, drawing, or whatever you like.

How to use this resource:

• Print the animals on bright coloured paper.
• Students choose an animal.
• Students roll a die and then place the appropriate number of round stickers or pompoms on the circles of their chosen animal.
• They are finished once the animal is fully covered.

Encourage students to get faster each time and recognise the number of dots their die lands on without counting the pips.
