Here is one idea for using the cupcake themed mats. Choose from the mat with white dots or colored.
Your students will make numbers on their mat to match a roll on the dice (use a 10 sided dice), from a set of counters featuring only 2 colors.
After playing this math game several times, your students may be ready for making numbers to 20. Simply play with 2 cupcake mats and a 20 sided dice.

After making their number, encourage your students to talk about
- what 2 numbers combine to make the total - e.g. 5 blue and 4 pink make 9
- how many left to make 10 - e.g one more would make 10
