4KookieKids Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I've been trying to find a good math placemat for my boy, and am pretty disappointed with my findings so far. I've checked out Melissa & Doug and the ones at Rainbow Resource, and a few other random ones on Amazon. I want something that is visual in the sense of not just lots of equations, but also not just simple counting. IDEALLY, what I would look would be split into six different sections, and each section would look something like this: [[ Picture with number bonds (singapore style) of whole 10 with parts 9 and 1 ]] 10 = 9 + 1 10 = 1 + 9 [[ Picture of two rows of five circles, with 9 in one color, and 1 in the another color]] 10 - 9 = 1 10 - 1 = 9 And this framework would be repeated for 10+0, 9+1, 8+2, 7+3, 6+4, and 5+5. Extras would be ok, too, but I'd really like it to have at least these basic components. I feel like it's just what makes *sense* when learning things that make 10, and yet no one seems to have one like this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? If not, I'm resigned to just making my own and having Office Max laminate it, but common sense says that *someone* else has probably already done it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamppost Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I haven't seen one, but if you're going to make your own I suggest using a site where you can upload your file and have them create a real place mat for you. I think Zazzle does these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeToListen Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I get a lot of freebies for math on sparklebox.co.uk Would these work? http://www.sparklebox.co.uk/maths/calculations/addition-activities.html ETA: Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
