Find My Match: subitising pairs 1 to 3. Twelve cards showing 1, 2 or 3 as dice dots, random dots, objects and finger numbers. Children find two cards that show the same amount, face up at first and then as a memory game. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • 12 cut-out cards, four for each amount from 1 to 3. Ideas for using it: • Face-up pairs: Lay all cards face up. Find two that show the same amount. • Memory game: Turn two cards over. If they match, keep them. • Sort into three: Make three groups: 1, 2 and 3. • Quick flash: An adult flashes a card. Show the same amount on your fingers. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Fast recognition of up to 3 objects, without having to count them individually (‘subitising’). • Show ‘finger numbers’ up to 5. • Play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas. • Use a wider range of vocabulary. Supplied as a ready-to-print PDF (A4 landscape). Print, laminate and reuse all year.
This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
