Peg It! Subitising Clip Cards: clip the matching number 1 to 3. Eight clip cards showing 1, 2 or 3 objects or dots. Children look, say how many, then clip a peg on the matching numeral at the bottom of the card. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • 8 clip cards showing 1, 2 and 3 objects or dots. Ideas for using it: • Look, say, peg: Look at the picture, say how many, then peg the number. • Fingers first: Show the amount on your fingers before you peg. • Check it: Turn the card over. A dot on the back shows the right answer. • Partner pegs: One child pegs, a partner checks. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Fast recognition of up to 3 objects, without having to count them individually (‘subitising’). • Link numerals and amounts: for example, showing the right number of objects to match the numeral, up to 5. • Use one-handed tools and equipment, for example, making snips in paper with scissors. • Show ‘finger numbers’ up to 5. 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 Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
