This learning activity enables children to investigate numbers from 0 to 12. Children are challenged to count sets of objects and identify the corresponding numerals.
3 and 4 year olds
(M-1) Develop fast recognition of up to 3 objects, without having to count them individually (‘subitising’).
(M-3) Say one number for each item in order: 1,2,3,4,5.
(M-6) Link numerals and amounts: for example, showing the right number of objects to match the numeral, up to 5.
Children in Reception
(M-21) Count objects, actions and sounds.
(M-23) Link the number symbol (numeral) with its cardinal number value.
(M-24) Count beyond ten.
Early Learning Goal
- Have a deep understanding of number to 10, including the composition of each number.
- Subitise (recognise quantities without counting) up to 5.
- Automatically recall (without reference to rhymes, counting or other aids) number bonds up to 5 (including subtraction facts) and some number bonds to 10, including double facts.
