1. Pizza Pizza Number Puzzles
Puzzles are great activities for learners to increase their problem solving skills, and work on their persistence! Instruct your learner to complete the puzzle by ordering the numbers from 1 to 5. As they complete the activity, they will further increase their ability to count forward and their mathematical awareness.
Pro Tip! For learners that are still developing their ability to order numbers independently, print two copies of the puzzles but only cut one. Use the uncut copy as an example or template.
Includes 16 number puzzles
2. Pattern Cards
In this activity, your learner will work on increasing their patterning skills, specifically, their ability to predict what comes next. Instruct the your learner to find the last tile that completes the pattern.
Begin with the AB patterns, and as your learner develops more competence, they can progress to the more challenging patterns (ABCC, AAABBCC).
All pieces pictured on the cards are included. To encourage success for learners that are beginning to grasp the concept of patterns, only include the pattern tiles that complete the cards. This ensures that the activity is self correcting. For others that need a challenge, include all the pieces.
Includes 21 pattern tiles, and 18 pattern cards. Cards include the patterns: AB, AABB, ABC, ABCC, and AABBCC.
3. Pizza Party Seriating Fun
This activity increases your learner’s ability to place objects in order along a continuum. In this case, have your learner order the toppings based on size from small, medium, to large. Instruct the learner to place small toppings on the small pizza, medium toppings on the medium pizza, and large toppings on the large pizza.
Questions to ask during the activity to assess for learning:
- Ask the learner to place three different toppings on each pizza. Ask, “Which one is smaller? Which topping is larger?”
- Pick up a topping of any size, then ask the learner “Which pizza should I put this topping on?”
Includes 1 seriating mat, 24 toppings: 8 small, 8 medium, 8 large.

4. Numbered Memory Cards
Who doesn’t love memory games?? I remember playing all kinds of memory games when I was younger!
Use these numbered pizza-themed memory cards to play different versions of memory games.
Here are some ideas for fun an engaging memory games to play with this activity:
- Traditional – place all cards face down, turning them over one at a time to find matching pairs. Or you can leave the face up and have the learner match the cards by simply identifying the number.
- Sensory Bin – place one set of the cards in a sensory bin, play around until you find the match!
5. Pizza Number Sense Mat
Number sense is an important skill for developing number recognition of more complex structures like graphs, tallies, maps, and more.
Instruct the learner to count the pizzas and toppings on the individual cards, and then to identify and match that number with the correct number on the mat. This activity is so versatile as it allows your learner to practice so many other vital skills: counting, matching, sorting, and comparing.
Pro Tip! Use velcro pieces on the mat and the individual activity pieces for ease of application… and to work on some fine motor skills!
Includes 1 number sense mat, 10 individual activity pieces.
6. ‘Make 10′ Pizza Cards
This activity increases hand-eye coordination and number sense at the same time!
Simply count how many toppings are already pictured in the ten frame, and then determine how many more are needed to make 10! Pin the correct answer with a clothespin.
For advanced learners and as an extending challenge, a blank card has been included for learners to try to make their own ‘Make 10’ cards. If you choose to laminate the cards for repeated use and overall durability, then have the learner use a dry erase marker to complete their card.
You can also print multiple copies of the blank card and have your learner create a set of cards themselves!
Includes 9 ‘Make 10’ cards with answers from 1 – 9, and 1 blank card
7. Build A Pizza!
Do you remember when you were younger and pretended to be a baker at a pizza parlour? I do! I would pretend to make pizzas, serve guests as a waitress, and take their order at the cash register! Pretend play not only enhanced my imagination skills, but it gave me the opportunity to play out what I saw in real life.
Play and hands-on interactive activities gives children opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of the world, and their learning.
This build-a-pizza activity will allow children to further develop their mathematical awareness and skills, while tapping into their imagination. Win-win!
Illustrated on each ‘Build A Pizza’ card are the ingredients for a pizza that a ‘guest’ has ordered. Instruct your learner to make the pizza on the mat for the guest.
Includes 1 ‘Pizza Topping Fun Mat’, 80 individual topping tiles, and 20 individual build a pizza ingredient cards
8. Pizza Made By Numbers!
Here’s another activity that allows your learner to tap into their imagination. This time they will be making a pizza by numbers!
Simply instruct your learner to match the topping pieces to the topping on the pizza with the correct number, and just like that your learner will be practicing their number recognition.
9. Roll & Graph
This activity is perfect for the little learner who is ready from more complex number representations. Simply assemble the dice and have your learner roll the dice, and then colour a square on the graph each time a specific topping appears.
10. Number Tiles Pizza Party
This is a fun activity that allows children to enhance their mathematical awareness, and one-to-one correspondence. Instruct your learner to count the amount of items pictured on the card, and then find the correct number words tiles.
Numerical number tiles have been added to encourage success, and to help the learners make connections between real numbers and reading numbers in written words.
Pro Tip! As the learners become more competent in recognizing numbers in print, cut the number word tiles into individual tiles and have them attempt to spell out the number words.
Includes 10 counting cards, 10 number word tiles, 10 real number tiles
11. Pizza Topping Fun
Time to make pizza! Give your learner a pizza topping mat and a pizza card. Instruct them make the pizza by making the toppings out of play dough!
As your learner engages in this activity the will counting in a meaningful way to determine the quantity of toppings needed for the pizza.
Pro Tip! Make learning engaging by using this activity with your pizza parlor prop box!As an extension, your learner can make the pizzas for their customers.
Includes 1 topping mat, and 20 individual pizza cards
