Counting Kit: Guided Play

Number Skills

Matching Cards

32 cards to develop ‘a little easier’ number skills

Mathematics

Students connect the length of the block, spoken number name and written numeral.

Using The Cards
  • The images are actual size.
  • Place blocks directly on the card, whilst saying the number name.

Choosing Cards

32 cards to develop ‘a little harder’ number skills

Mathematics

Students learn about the size of numbers in relation to each other.

Using The Cards
  • The images are actual size but are not numbered.
  • Choose blocks based on length and in relation to other blocks already placed.

Spatial Skills

Building Cards

Using The Cards
  • The images are reduced in size. The blocks do not fit on the cards.
  • Take out the specified blocks. Build the image on the table, next to the card.

Filling Cards

32 cards to develop ‘a little harder’ spatial skills

Mathematics
