By Mrs. Agusta Teaching Resources
Beehive counting mats 1–20 for preschool, Pre-K, and kindergarten! This hands-on math center helps students practice number recognition, counting to 20, one-to-one correspondence, quantity building, and numeral matching with a sunny beehive and busy bees. One set covers counting from 1 all the way to 20. Start beginning learners at 1–5, move on to 1–10, and stretch into the teen numbers as students build confidence. Students count the honeycombs at the bottom of each mat and place the matching number of bees in the hive. They can also use the numbered beehive mats to build quantities, or match numbered bees to the beehive with the same numeral. What’s Included -Counting mats with honeycombs (1–20): one beehive mat for every number, with a honeycomb counting area at the bottom -Numbered beehive mats (1–20): the same mats with no counting prompt -Printable bee manipulatives -Numbered bee cards (1–20): for numeral matching -Color and black-and-white versions of every page -Teacher directions: a “How to Use” page with prep tips and activity ideas A cover page and license page Ways to Use -Count & Grow: count the honeycombs below the beehive and place the matching number of bees in the hive. -Number to Quantity: use the beehive mats without the honeycombs and place the matching number of bees in the hive. -Number Matching: match each numbered bee to the beehive with the same numeral. -Fly into the hive: laminate or mount the mat on cardstock and carefully cut along the beehive ope
