Place Value Mats. Ten-Frame Mat Math mats help students organize materials in a mathematically meaningful way. They may also serve as prompts to reinforce mathematical concepts and skills. For example, ten-frame mat help young students organize objects by tens, reinforcing that important place value concept of our base-ten number system. It is developmentally appropriate to have students begin with ungrouped materials (e.g. unifix cubes, beans, etc.) and place one object in each square of the ten frame to create a ten. Using this organizational mat promotes mathematical discourse. Double Ten-Frame Mat Next, students use a double ten-frame mat to model numbers from 1-20. The teen numbers are notoriously hard for kindergarten students. Finally, ask students to name the number represented and either write the number (if inserted in a sheet protector) or select the appropriate number card.
