What is a Part Part Whole Mat?
A part part whole mat is a visual way for students to practice addition and subtraction.
How Do You Use a Part Part Whole Mat?
Students use counters to show quantities and the relationship between the numbers.
Give your student five counters and ask them to place them on the “whole” section.
Then, ask them to show you how they can make five and put those on the “part” sections (with five and zero, zero and five, two and three, four and one, etc.).
You could also laminate the mat and write the numbers alongside the counters (with a wet-erase marker).
Supplies you may need
- Printer paper or cardstock
- Counters such as bees, pom poms, bears, or cubes are among some of our favorites.

How to Organize Your Part Part Whole Mats
- If you decide to print out more than a few of our part part whole mats, you may want to contain them a bit.
- If you’d like, you can either hole punch them and place them in a binder, or punch them with this and bind them to create your own reading tracker book!
- You could even cut them out a bit (or print them two to a page) and paste them into a spiral notebook along with your other printables or coloring pages.
