Maths Mastery - Subitising - get the 'feel' of a number - quick fire warm up powerpoint

A great start to your lesson - starting simple with 1, 2, 3 lollies - children shout out how many there are as quickly as they can. Moving on to dots.... more and more dots until we get up to 10 dots in different arrangements. Children begin to get a 'feel' for amounts and use pattern recognition (eg dice dot arrangements) to use as a strategy to help them calculate amounts quickly.

Use the slideshow function to move quickly from slide to slide. You can even use the timer on slideshow to speed up or slow down the slides.
