Cookie Number Counting Mats in Spanish

10 color mats with empty ten-frames for numbers 1-10
10 color mats with ten-frames filled with cookies for numbers 1-10
10 black and white mats with empty ten-frames
10 black and white mats with filled ten-frames
Each mat includes:
- A large outlined number to fill with play dough or trace
- The Spanish number word (uno through diez)
- An empty plate to fill with cookies
- A ten-frame to fill or count
A directions page with prep and how-to-use tips

Mats print one per page. Choose the color set for a bright math center or the black and white set to save ink.

Required Materials:

Paper, Printer, Ink
Laminator (recommended so the mats last)
Play dough
Counters, mini erasers or small round crackers for cookies
Dry-erase markers (optional, for tracing on laminated mats)

Standards for Counting, Cardinality and Number Sense

These cookie number mats support early math standards connected to counting objects, one-to-one correspondence, matching numbers to amounts and forming numerals.

Common Core State Standards: Mathematics

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.3: Write numbers from 0 to 20 and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. Kids form each number with play dough or trace it with a dry-erase marker.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4: Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities. Every mat connects a numeral, a number word and a set of objects.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.5: Count to answer “how many?” questions. Kids count the cookies on the plate and fill the ten-frame to match.

Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines and TEKS for Mathematics

PK4.V.A.2: Children count up to 10 objects with one-to-one correspondence. Kids add cookies to the plate one at a time as they count.
PK4.V.A.3: Children count up to 10 items and show that the last number counted tells how many are in the set.
TEKS K.2C: Count a set of objects and show that the last number said tells how many are in the set.

Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning

K.NS.1.a: Use one-to-one correspondence to find how many are in a set. Each mat gives kids a new set to build and count.
K.NS.1.c: Show counting by ones with tools like ten-frames. Kids build each number on the ten-frame, one box at a time.
K.NS.2.b: Build a set of objects to match a given numeral. Kids fill the ten-frame to match the number on the mat.

Cookie Number Counting Mats in Spanish help preschool and kindergarten kids count objects, build numbers on a ten-frame and learn the Spanish number words for 1-10 in a hands-on printable math activity.

Cookies for everyone! Each mat has an empty plate just waiting for treats. Kids add one cookie at a time until the plate matches the number.

Every mat shows a number from 1 to 10, the Spanish number word and an empty plate ready to fill with cookies.

Half of the mats have an empty ten-frame to fill. The other half show the ten-frame already filled with cookies so kids can count the model and check their work. A ten-frame is a simple 2 x 5 grid that helps kids see numbers in groups of five and ten. It’s one of the best tools for building early number sense.

The large outlined numbers are made for play dough so kids build fine motor strength while they practice number formation. Laminate the mats and kids can trace the numbers with a dry-erase marker instead.

These Spanish number mats fit right into dual-language and Spanish immersion classrooms, bilingual homes and groups with Spanish-speaking English learners. They’re also a fun way for English speakers to learn uno through diez.

Print the color set for centers or the black and white set to save ink. Laminate the mats and they’re ready for counters, play dough and dry-erase markers again and again.

How to Use Cookie Number Counting Mats in Spanish

Choose a mat and read the number and number word together.
Roll play dough into snakes and shape them over the large number or trace it with a dry-erase marker.
Count out that many cookies or counters. Fill the plate, then place one in each box of the ten-frame to match.

Small Group: Give each child a mat. Everyone builds their number, fills the ten-frame and shares how many with the group. Pass the mats to the left and play again.

Independent Practice: Set the mats in a math center with play dough and a cup of counters. Kids work through the numbers in order or pick any mat to shape, count and fill.

Easy Ways to Differentiate These Number Mats

Every group of kids has a mix of counting, number recognition and fine motor skills. These simple changes keep the activity familiar while meeting each child where they are.

For Children Who Need More Support:

Start with numbers 1-5 and add more mats as counting becomes steady.
Begin with the filled ten-frame mats so kids can place counters right on top of the pictures.
Touch and count each cookie together before moving on.
Pre-roll play dough snakes for kids who are still building hand strength.
Model filling the top row of the ten-frame from left to right.

For On-Level Practice:

Use all 10 empty ten-frame mats in order.
Have kids say the number word after counting.
Shape the number with play dough, then fill the ten-frame to match.
Use the filled ten-frame mats to self-check.

For an Extra Challenge:

Mix up the mats and put them in order from 1 to 10.
Say a number and have kids find the matching mat.
Ask how many more counters it would take to fill the ten-frame and make 10.
Show a filled mat for a few seconds, cover it and have kids build the same amount from memory.

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support:

Model the number word and give plenty of wait time.
Accept pointing, gestures, AAC or any communication method the child already uses.
Use tongs or tweezers to place counters for added fine motor practice.
Repeat the same small set of numbers across several sessions.
Pair each Spanish number word with the English word for multilingual learners.
