Getting Back to School First to 20 Ready

You will want to print out enough math mats for your students to complete. My students always completed this game during math centers so I always had five printed and ready to go. Whatever your magic number is, have that many printed.

It is recommended that you print on cardstock and laminate so that they can be used for years to come. You will need to print out the dice and glue together. I find that it does better when also printed on cardstock.

Who says going back to learning has to be boring? Your students will have so much FUN playing this Back to School First to 20 game in your math center.

Doing Back to School First to 20 Game

Each student playing the game, will need to have a math mat, counters, and a number cube (or dice). If students are working in pairs or small groups, I always encourage each student to roll the dice before starting. The highest (or lowest) number gets to be the first person to roll.

The first person will roll the dice. My daughter’s number was three so she placed three counters on her math mat.

Learning math is so much FUN when you implement Back to School First to 20 in your PreK, Kindergarten, or First Grade classroom! Your students are going to LOVE it!
