How many spots? Conceptual Subitising

How many spots? is a simple FREE interactive whiteboard Maths game to support the development of children’s early conceptual subitising skills (being able to see a number without counting). Children are presented with dominoes showing different arrangements of six, seven and eight spots. Children are invited to see how many spots are presented by applying their conceptual subitising skills. Children show the answer with their fingers, write the matching calculation on small individual whiteboards and/or click on the matching symbolic number card. This game fits well with WhiteRose Maths Spring Term Unit Growing 6, 7, 8 and is easy editable (32 slides in length). This game provides a good mental Maths starter and explores different arrangements of making six, seven and eight. This game can lead well into an independent investigation, exploring different ways of showing six, seven and eight spots using Spot on Number resources or making, sorting and matching dominoes into sets with 6, 7 and 8.
