P1 – Different ways to show a number and estimating how many

We have been learning there are lots of ways to show a number including with spots on a dice, a tens frame, tally marks, on fingers, in a digit, as a word, as numicon and as a group of almost anything!!! We know that to count correctly we need to touch and count everything only once and the last number is how many. It doesn’t matter the size or the position we start.

We had lots of fun solving this number puzzle and also guessing what was inside the feely bags and estimating how many things were hiding inside! We then used our super counting skills to check if we guessed just right, too little or too much!
