Motivation:
"Kindergarteners today I have a new math center for you to go along with out winter theme! You will have mittens with numbers 1 through 10 on them and mittens with ten frames 1 through 10 on them. You will have to match the number with the correct ten frame. When you get this done, you and a partner can play memory with the mittens. You will flip the mittens over and can pick two mittens, if they match you get to keep them and if they don't match you will have to turn them over and it is your partners turn.
Steps:
1. Lay the mittens face up.
2. Count the dots on the ten frame mitten and then find the matching number.
Memory game
1. Get with a partner and flip all the mittens face down.
2. The first person will flip two mitttens over.
3. If they match that partner gets to keep them and go again.
4. If they do not match, flip them back over and it is the other person's turn.
