Guess How Many EYFS Game

Mathematics: EYFS Guess How Many Learning Activity

This learning activity enables children to develop the skill of estimating. They are encouraged to ‘make a sensible guess’ as to how many images they can see, for example, 7 acorns or 14 beach balls. Supporting adults should allow children to quickly see the image before hiding the card, to prevent the children from counting the images! Children to then shout out their estimations or record them on whiteboards. Adults then turn the card over to reveal the numeral. Compare their estimate to the actual number of objects.

(M-N22) Estimates how many objects they can see and checks by counting them.

Early Learning Goal
(ELG11) Children count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.
