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):
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!

Great resource!

Taught 3rd grade for 5 years and bought the original pocket chart activity. My students loved it. When I moved to first grade this year, I thought that this activity would have to wait until after winter break. Nope! Printing this out and trying it on Monday!

I have been eyeing your first grade version, so I knew I had to buy when you created a kindergarten version!!!

Catherine’s resources are always amazing! I always appreciate the clean design of her products. Without the cutesy graphics and unnecessary decorations that are so common in TPT materials, kids are able to focus on the learning. Instructions for teachers are also so clear that it is easy to use materials to their full potential. Thanks for another great resource, Catherine!

can’t wait to use these at the beginning of the year. I plan to introduce them to my first graders first and then make the switch to the first grade set.
