Gingerbread Subitising Adding One More

A simple interactive whiteboard maths game to support early counting, addition and subitising skills. Children are presented with varying arrangements of buttons within five on the gingerbread man/woman. Children click on the number card showing the matching amount of buttons. This game can be played in various different ways depending on the needs of your children and is easily editable (21 slides in length). For example, higher achievers might like to write the corresponding calculation on small whiteboards, whilst other children may prefer to show the answer with their fingers or with number fans. This game fits well with WhiteRose Maths planning Alive in Five and builds on developing number knowledge within five by practising subitising and introducing the concept of adding one more.
