Fall counting mats 1–20 for preschool, Pre-K, and kindergarten! This hands-on fall math center helps students practice number recognition, counting to 20, one-to-one correspondence, quantity building, and numeral matching with a friendly squirrel and his acorns. 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 use the fall leaves at the bottom of each mat as a visual counting area and place the matching number of acorns on the squirrel. They can also use the numbered mats to build quantities, or match numbered acorns to the squirrel with the same numeral.
