January Polar Bear Math Centers Free Download | Number Order and Build Numbers Counting Mats

This January Polar Bear Math Centers Free Download includes two hands-on, polar bear-themed math centers designed to strengthen early number sense through meaningful practice. Students will work on number order and building numbers while developing counting skills and one-to-one correspondence.

In the Number Order center, students identify missing numbers and place numbers in the correct sequence, supporting counting forward and understanding number relationships. In the Number Build center, students count and build matching sets for each number using manipulatives such as cubes, counters, or beads. Optional recording sheets allow students to show their thinking and support independent center routines.

These January polar bear math centers work well for whole-group modeling, small-group instruction, independent math centers, or at-home practice.
