Description
Build number recognition and early math skills with our Number Chart Center (0-50) for Kindergarten! This differentiated pocket chart math center offers engaging activities that help students master numbers 0-50 through interactive and hands-on learning. Perfect for math centers.
A number chart is a great tool for practicing subitizing, representing numbers, as well as, addition/subtraction with 0 and 1. Throughout the second semester, this is a continuous center in our kindergarten math rotations. As students become faster in completing the chart (many times it initially takes 25-30+ minutes to complete the chart, while only 10-12 minutes when they have mastered the patterns/skill). Students ‘level-up’ as they work with the chart.
There are 8 levels of cards included in this resource, with sets 5 and 6 including two types of cards (a set of addition and a set of subtraction). You can order and rearrange these sets to meet the needs of your learners.
8 Levels of Cards Included (0-50):
- Level 1: Ten Frame Cards
- Level 2: Domino Cards
- Level 3: Tally Mark Cards
- Level 4: Number Cards
- Level 5: Plus 0 Cards
- Level 6: Minus 0 Cards
- Level 7: Plus 1 Cards
- Level 8: Minus 0 Cards
Initially I only use the ten frame cards (1-10 then 1-20, 1-30 etc.) for all 3 of my math groups. Students pull a number and then, place it in its home. Many students will individually count each square on the number chart until they find the desired home. Eventually, students will discover ‘tricks’ for finding the number’s home – counting by fives/tens, noticing the number’s relationship to other numbers in the chart, etc. During this phase, you might have students pull out their ten frames, counters, or other manipulatives and show the number card they are placing.
After students are successful using the ten frame cards, I introduce the domino and tally cards. These cards are perfect for practicing different ways to show or represent numbers. During these initial rounds with number representations, I have the number cards (Set 4) already placed on the chart. Students place the representations on top of the numbers as a scaffold. Additionally, I want students to start connecting the amount shown in the picture (semi-concrete) with the written numbers (abstract).
Next, I introduce the number cards with a blank number chart. Students use Set 5 to practice working with 0 and Set 6 for addition/subtraction 1.
To keep the cards organized and easy to sort, I copy them on colored cardstock (ROYGBIV), each set in a plastic baggies, magnet-ed to the back of a filing cabinet where our number chart hangs. Students know which baggies to grab and love to beat their fastest time!

My students love doing this activity – appreciate the different levels / skills in the differentiation
EB Behavior Tools –
When I taught Resource Special Ed we used this to open our K-2 math intervention groups and we got lots of mileage out of it. It was maybe my favorite resource I used for the three years I held that position. Thank you so much!

This is a great resource to build number sense and student understanding.
Tatum B. –
This is such a great center! My students earlier on the continuum use this version of the 120 chart so it is something they can accomplish on their own. LOVE IT!
Martha B. –
These were exactly what I needed — and I didn’t have to make them myself. Thank you Catherine!!!!
Malisa H. –
