Game Objective: To identify the number of objects in the collection
Materials: Two-Colour counters, regular counters or beans
WALT: Recognise the number of objects in a collection
WILF: Fluency with numbers and the ability to recognise and describe a quantity in terms of its parts, e.g., the ability to see 8 in terms of: 4 and 4, or 5 and 3 more, or 2 less than 10, etc
Summary:
- Throw a small collection of counters on the floor in front of the students (initially begin with counters that are all the same colour)
- Without touching the counters, ask students to identify the quantify and explain their thinking, e.g. I see 3 counters and 2 more counters which is 5 counters altogether
- Encourage the students to use their knowledge of quantities to help them identify the total, i.e. we do not want students to be counting all
