Print out and laminate the mats. Choose the one that’s appropriate for your student’s age and skill level.
This Roll and Cover Numbers printable will help your students master subitizing for the numbers 1 to 6 when used with a normal dice. There is also a separate playing mat if you would like to use 2 dice together for the numbers 2 to 12.
For younger students, you can use the printable dice I have included that shows the numerals. When used with this, students will practice number recognition from 1 to 6 instead. Just cut it out, fold the tabs and glue together.
If you don’t want to use dice at all, then you can use the number cards included to make it a pick and cover numbers game instead.
Students can cover up the matching number with any small token you have like mini eggs to go with the Humpty Dumpty theme, pompoms, math cubes, buttons, beads, etc.
In our house, we used little playdough balls as tokens. I told my son that the numbers were ‘holes’ in the wall that needed to be filled up otherwise the wall would crack, crumble and Humpty Dumpty would fall down!
Game continues until all numbers have been covered.
