Number Sense Basics – Counting Fingers & In Words

Number Sense Basics – Counting Fingers & In Words is a matching activity designed to build a conceptual understanding that amounts can be represented in many ways.

The cards are specially designed so that students are required to mentally switch between different concepts as they endeavour to find a complete match. This requires a higher level of thinking than simply using the same visual representation.

These cards assist in developing mental computational fluency in young learners, creates flexibility in counting and is an ideal resource for independent maths stations or rotations.

Instructions:

• Print, laminate and cut the individual cards.
• Mix the cards. Using the imbedded arrows, students create matches of three.
• Cards can be divided into as few or as many sets as required.

This resource contains:

• 61 cards / 20 matches (3 cards to a match) and one title card.
• PDF and high quality PNG files.

Please note: All resources from the M Teaching Peaks store are downloadable digital files that you will be able to access immediately after purchase. No physical item will be sent.

All the best!
