Number Match

Learning Goals: Number Recognition, Spatial Sense, Partner Game, Teacher Directed.

Provide numbers between 1 and 30 on 2 sets of cards (each set is a different colour), placed in a square grid format.

Children have to flip one coloured card and see if they can find the same number on the other coloured card.

After a few rounds, they can try and remember where they saw a certain number.

Students can play in partners and compete to get the most pairs!
Different coloured cards with various representations of numbers on them (i.e., numerals, number words, tally marks)

This activity encourages number sense and spatial sense by encouraging children to recognize a number and remember where they may have seen it on the grid.

Playing with a partner ensures that they are paying attention to their partners' turn to see which number is placed where.
