Number Detective


Number Recognition Activities

Number Recognition Free Game 1

Game 1 helps you teach number recognition 1-10 by helping children to see that numbers can be the same but look different. Numbers can be in digits, quantities and words.

In the activity, the kids pretend to be ‘detectives’ looking for all the different representations of the same number. When they see a matching representation they dab it with a dab and dot marker!

The children have to search for and match the same digit, number word, dot quantity and tally.   We used a range of fonts so that they can see numbers can look different but they are the same.

Number Recognition Free Game – Magnifying Glass

To make it more motivating and engaging we bought some mini-magnifying glasses for the kids to use, which they really enjoyed! We used the magnifying glass because wanted the kids to focus on the differences between letter and numbers.

Using the magnifying glass helped them look more closely at the letters, numbers and symbols. It also encouraged them to build mathematical language by encouraging discussion about curved lines, straight lines, how letters and numbers looked the same, nearly the same or different.

 


Number Recognition Free Game Recording Sheet

At the end of the game there is space for the child or teacher to record the numeral, number name and quantity that they have been focussing on. This provides a record of what they understand about the number recognition concept.

Number Recognition Free Game 2

Game 2 is another for your kit of fun strategies for teaching number recognition and this version incorporates standard dice subitising.

In this game the student rolls the dice and dabs the amount in the empty square. Then they look for all the representations of that number. E.g. a two is rolled so two dots are dabbed into the squares, and all the different versions of the number 2 are dabbed in the search area.  Swap colours and roll the next turn.

Continue until all the numbers have been covered, swapping dabber colours. You can also use a reusable pocket to save paper or blow it up to A3.

Number Recognition Free Game 3

Version 3 of the game has been modified for students to practice their early addition skills. This one works well blown up to A3 size paper. You will also need some dice.

  • The student rolls the dice and subitises the total rolled (in the picture that is 4).
  • Next to the square that has the number 4 in it they dab the number rolled, e.g. 3 dots and 1 dot
  • Next they write the number sentence to match 3 + 1.

This can be played in pairs with each player having a copy of the board. Players take turns to roll the dice and the first to complete their board wins!
