These mitten match activities have certainly been a hit during winter themed centers. Whether it’s working with early numeracy concepts, rhyme or letters and sounds, our little kindergarten and first grade friends just love the hands-on component of this activity! Of course you don’t really need to use clothespins to match the mittens, but it adds a little twist on the activity and incorporates a fine motor component as well. The Mitten Match activity contains two activities- one for 10 frame to number match and the other number to word match. The mittens have been color coordinated per activity. The Mitten Match for Early Numeracy can be found in my Teachers Pay Teachers store. The Mitten Match for Rhyme contains 30

It’s always fun to incorporate a little seasonal spirit into center activities. Many of my first grade friends are now learning place value using base 10 blocks and I thought it’d be a great time to introduce a hands-on winter themed activity. The self-checking feature of this activity makes it perfect for independent centers. When you download the file you’ll receive the template and 50 snowballs with numbers 1-50. The student simply chooses a snowball and builds the number. When done, he/she just turns the snowball over and checks to see if the number of rods and units match. The Representing Numbers Using Base 10 Blocks can be found in my online Teachers Pay Teachers store or on the Make,
