I love making number mats reusable by laminating them or placing them in a heavy duty "secure" page protector. Page protectors aren't as durable as lamination or dry erase pockets, but they're the least expensive and easiest to use. These are the secure, heavy duty sheet protectors we use:
- Keep contents secure in the protective sleeve with convenient top flap; perfect for holding nonstandard size papers and important items
- Get a crisp, clear view of the contents of your documents with diamond clear page protectors featuring a polished finish for high clarity
- Ensure your documents stay protected with long-lasting super heavyweight sheet protectors for all of your frequently referenced items
I like pairing page protected sheets with Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 dry erase pencils. They write really well and there's no ink to stain or stink! They are very washable and even wash off white walls easily. (Yes, I'm speaking from experience.)
- Washable
- XXL lead applies as much pigment as 8 colored pencils at once
- Large width ideal for smaller hands
How to use number mats (play dough mats)
Each of these number mats has:
- A crate with apples (1-10).
- A large numeral for making a play dough number or tracing the number with a marker/crayon.
- The number word in a dotted font to trace.
- Space to write the number below the crate or to place manipulatives to make the correct number.
