December Gingerbread Number Order and Build Centers Free Download – Hands-On Number Sequencing 1–20

This December Gingerbread Number Order and Build Centers Free Download includes two hands-on math centers designed to help students practice number sequencing and counting throughout the month of December. The gingerbread theme keeps learners motivated as they work with numbers 1–20 in engaging and predictable routines.

The Gingerbread Number Order Center allows students to fill in the missing numbers. They look at the sequence, think through the pattern, and write the correct missing number inside the gingerbread cookie.

The Gingerbread Count and Build Center invites students to count the number shown on the tray and build a matching set using manipulatives—gingerbread mini-erasers, counters, cubes, or any hands-on tool you have available. Optional recording sheets provide an easy way for students to show their work independently.
