Domino Fact Families-Activity Mats

Click on the picture to download the domino fact families-activity mats!

 This download contains dominoes from 1-15, as well as fact family mats you can use for teaching/re-teach/centers or even printable posters!
I like to print the dominoes out and then laminate them (for centers). If you put magnetic dots/tape on the back, they are great for manipulatives too.
The fact family activity mats can be printed front-to-back on 8.5X11 OR you can make mini-mats by printing them 2 per page (front-to-back).
I hope your students enjoy them as much as mine have!
