These tropical themed Alphabet Playdough Mats were created for students in the first years of primary school. They provide templates to help students learn to correctly form each lowercase and uppercase letter of the alphabet using playdough or other concrete materials. Each set has been specifically designed in various school fonts.
Form most lower-case and upper-case letters using learnt letter formations
Partition and combine collections up to 10 using part-part-whole relationships and subitising to recognise and name the parts
Recognise and name the number of objects within a collection up to 5 using subitising
Write words using unjoined lower-case and upper-case letters
Produce some lower case and upper case letters using learned letter formations
Connect number names, numerals and quantities, including zero, initially up to 10 and then beyond
Subitise small collections of objects
Write using unjoined lower case and upper case letters
Produces most lower case and upper case letters and uses digital technologies to construct texts
