Ladybird Subitising Game - How many spots?

A simple IWB game designed in Powerpoint to develop children’s early subitising skills. Children are invited to subitise the amount of spots they see on each ladybird (4 or 5 spots?) and click on the matching symbolic number.

This activity may work well as part of whole class teaching and learning or small guided group session. Children can all participate by subitising the spots and by showing either 4 or 5 fingers to represent the spots on each ladybird. Children can be selected to use the IWB and click on the matching symbolic number digit to reveal the correct answer Different arrangements of 4 and 5 spots are shown on each ladybird. A super game to develop early subtising skills.

This IWB game links well with White Rose Maths Spring Term Unit Alive in 5! Learning to subitise numbers to five is a key early learning goal so this game can also provide a good assessment tool. (32 slides in length)
