We have mastered our numbers to 10, and are pretty getting pretty quick at instantly identifying numbers in 10 frames. Now we are working on furthering our number sense and mastering those tricky teens! It can be a little tough at first for kids to understand that teen numbers are ten and some more, so 20 frames can really be a helpful visual. This snowman 20 frames math game is a fun game to print and play with your young mathematicians this winter!
Snowman 20 Frames Math Game
I love games that are quick-prep and hands on for the math center, and my kids love games that involve pieces that let them incorporate some coloring tools as well (they love to color) – so this game is a perfect combo!
I printed out the snowmen on their 20 frames (numbers 11-20) as well as the recording sheet.
I laminated the 20 frame pieces so that they stay sturdy, and then I made several copies of the recording sheet so that each student had one.
I first played with my small group, and we were ready to dive right on in and see which teen number the first snowman we picked would show us on their 20 frame.
We tried really hard to “see 10” first, and then count the extra.
We first had 15 on our 20 frame, so we searched for the snowman with the matching number, and then we colored his hat, scarf, nose, and arms!
However, in Kindergarten I do get lots of full on purple and green snowmen too, and I love it – that’s just how we roll!
We kept pulling, counting, and coloring until we had completed our recording sheet and had some practice with all of the teen numbers.
