Valentines Day Subitizing Numbers 1 to 5

A simple interactive maths game, designed in Powerpoint to support the development of subitizing skills in EYFS. Ideal for sharing on the interactive whiteboard as part of whole class teaching and learning. Great as a mental warm up / starter activity. Children are presented with 1 to 5 hearts in a variety of different arrangements. Children are encouraged to subitize (instantly say the number of hearts without counting) and click on the matching number. Fifteen different arrangments are shared in the slides. At the end of the slides 12 smaller flash cards showing different arrangements for 5 are shown to explore different ways of arranging the hearts. This leads to an exploratory activity during independent learning where children can investigate all the different ways of arranging 5 chocolate hearts in a box with nine spaces.
