Make math engaging with this free October Chip + Swipe center. Students practice subitizing, more/less, missing numbers, addition, and subtraction with 40 hands-on mats.

This October Math Chip + Swipe Freebie offers an interactive way for students to build number sense, computation skills, and math fluency. Using magnetic bingo chips and a wand, students “chip it” to cover answers and “swipe it” to reveal solutions — creating a hands-on, tactile experience that builds understanding through play.

With 40 center mats included, students will practice key foundational skills such as:
• Subitizing numbers quickly and accurately
• Identifying which number is more or less
• Filling in missing numbers within a counting sequence
• Solving addition and subtraction equations within 20
• Strengthening number sense through repeated practice

The included “I Can” card provides clear directions, supporting independence during center time while keeping activities student-led. Perfect for whole-group instruction, small-group rotations, math tubs, or independent practice.

Ideas for use:
• Add to math centers for weekly skill rotation
• Use as intervention support for foundational math skills
• Pair with manipulatives for extra engagement
• Send home for fun, skill-focused family practice

• 40 printable chip and swipe mats covering multiple skills
