Number Sorting Mats 11-20
Build Strong Number Sense Beyond 10. Understanding teen numbers is a big step in early maths.
These Number Representation Sorting Mats help children explore numbers 11–20 by matching multiple representations, encouraging them to recognise that every number can be shown in many different ways.
Rather than memorising numerals, students build flexible number knowledge through meaningful hands-on practice.
Perfect for:
✔ Kindergarten Math Centers
✔ First Grade Math Centers
✔ Morning Work
✔ Independent Practice
✔ Small Groups
✔ Intervention
✔ Number Sense Lessons
A hands-on way to learn about number that can be used over and over and over again to help support your classroom teaching of number and all the different ways numbers can be represented. With multiple representations included for all the numbers from 11-20, pick and choose the cards you want your children to sort. Choose from number words, ten frames, tally marks, number lines, tens and ones, MAB blocks, dots, dice and more.
This sorting activity is a fantastic addition to your math centers or morning work!
Alternatively use the cards alone as a game of Snap! Or use them to display in class as posters.
