Turkey Number Sense Match | Numerals 1–10 and Four Number Models

Give preschool and kindergarten learners a hands-on way to match a written numeral to a quantity. Children choose a numbered turkey mat, count the number models, and place the four matching feather cards on their labeled spaces.

This 15-page US Letter PDF includes ten numeral mats, forty cut-apart feather cards, two recording sheets, a setup guide, and a teacher reference. Each number from 1 to 10 is shown with dots, tally marks, a ten frame, and base-ten blocks. The base-ten model uses unit squares for 1–9 and a ten rod for 10. The two recording pages cover 1–5 and 6–10.

Print the mats and feather cards in color at actual size. Cut on the dashed lines and laminate for reuse if desired. Introduce two or three numbers first, model how to count each picture, and have students check their recording sheets as they place the matching cards. Use the pack in a small group, a math center, or a Thanksgiving morning tub.
