About this resource

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.Read more

What you get, one file

  • PDFActivity

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 Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
