Our  printable math mats have a fun Bug theme, with coordinating number
cards 1-12.  Cards include number, written form, and picture of corresponding
amount of bugs!  You need to laminate these or put these in protective sleeves
so that children can write the answers then erase their boards.

Print up your buggy boards to use as fun colorful math mats for children to
practice basic equations.  I laminated mine back to back (add/sub and
mul/div) so that I only have two boards which have double sides.

Game #1
This game is for one or two players.  
Turn cards upside down, draw two at a
time and then place them on your mat.  
Solve the problem.  Check your work
cards, if not, return them to the pile.
Winner is one with most cards at the
end.  (Use different level boards for
Game #2
Children use number cards 4-9 and lay
them out in front of them.  Child rolls
the die, then must find the correct
number card that will make 10 with the
die.  So if the child rolls a 2, they find
their 8 card and turn it over. First child
to turn over all cards wins.  This is a
great game for multiple ages as it's
sorta the luck of the roll.
Game #3
Play make "10" concentration.  Print
two sets of cards, and use numbers
1-10.  Turn all cards over and take turns
trying to find pairs that add up to ten.
Other Suggestions:
Roll the die and write in all the numbers.

Use the board to preform simple
opperations during daily math practice.

Print up our
Buggy Counters, or use
counters of your own (check Dollar Tree!)
Game #4
Play Make Ten War!  Divide the cards
between two players.  Take turns turning
over cards into the community pile.  If
the card before, and the new card can
somehow "make ten" then be the first to
slap the pile.  (i.e. 11-1 can equal 10, 7
+ 3 equals 10, and just 10 equals 10)  If
you are the first to slap the pile, you win
the cards.  Winner is the one with all the
cards in the end.  You will need multiple
sets of the printable number cards for
this to be fun.
