Maths Number Mats 1-10
Hands-On Number Practice

This set of maths number mats is designed to help children develop a strong understanding of numbers and early maths concepts through engaging, hands-on activities. Each mat focuses on a specific number and provides multiple ways for children to explore and represent it.

Children are encouraged to find the focus number on a number line, practise forming the numeral by writing it or using playdough to mould its shape, and count accurately using a tens frame. The mats also include a fun counting activity where children count objects in an image, such as adding the correct number of spots to a ladybird, helping to build one-to-one correspondence.

Key benefits:

Develops number recognition and understanding of quantity

Supports number formation through writing and playdough

Builds counting and one-to-one correspondence skills

Encourages use of number lines and tens frames

Strengthens fine motor skills and hand control

Ideal for EYFS classrooms, small group work, interventions, or continuous provision, these maths mats provide a practical and engaging way for children to explore numbers with confidence and enjoyment.
