Number Sensory Bins

I love a good, predictable activity. Students know what to expect, how to care for the materials, and you spend less time explaining and more time exploring. 

Sensory bins are always a hit for my kiddos. Fun fillers are instantly engaging. So I created alphabet bins and numbers bins. 

Number Bin Bundle 

Number bins are a way to practice number sense. Each theme includes numbers 1-20. Each number is represented in 3 ways (number, tally marks, ten frame, finger counting, counting pictures). There are recording pages with a 1-10 option, and a 1-20 option as well. Pick what works best for your kids.

You can use these sets in a variety of ways. The first, place a set of the numbers in a sensory bin. Pull the card, identify the number, and trace it on a recording page.

These could be used in a pocket chart to sort by number.

Or each child can take a card and find other students that have the same number.

You can order the number cards in a number line.

The cards can be placed around the room for a Count the Room activity.

Use number bins to fit in with your seasonal or weekly theme, or just for fun! There are over 20 themes included in this bundle.

Use these number bins during center time, busy boxes, or even for early finishers.

Change out the sensory bin filler to keep the center fresh and fun. Here are a few favorites.

-corn kernels

-gems

-dyed chickpeas

-dyed beans

-paper shred

-jumbo buttons

-pom poms
