A Subitising Game to Engage Students

Looking for a subitising game to give your students practise quickly identifying quantities and numerals? We’ve got you covered! This memory game is a fun way for students to practise subitising and number recognition while challenging their memories.

This resource is 4 pages: 

  • Dot cards 1 – 6
  • Dot cards 7 – 12
  • Number cards 1 – 6
  • Number cards 7 – 12

We recommend printing the cards on cardboard so they are not see-through, and laminating them for longevity. 

Instructions:

  1.  Cut apart the cards and mix them up.
  2.  Spread the cards out on the floor, face-down.
  3.  Students take turns choosing two cards to flip over. If they make a match, they keep the pair. If the cards do not match, the student turns them back over.
  4.  The game ends when all the cards have been paired and claimed. The student with the most pairs wins!

Gamification for Engagement

There are many benefits to gamifying your maths lessons, activities, and centres. Here are just a few! 

  • Engagement – Gamification makes learning feel more fun and interactive, grabbing the attention of the learner. 
  • Interactivity – Gamified activities often involve hands-on experiences, which have been shown to increase learning and enjoyment for young students. 
  • Social Skills – Playing games promotes teamwork and friendly competition, allowing students to practise social skills. 
  • Immediate Feedback – Games provide instant feedback, so students quickly learn from their mistakes and adjust their strategies. 
  • Problem-Solving Practise – Games often require critical thinking and reasoning skills, giving students a chance to flex these mental muscles. 

Simply Print, Cut, and Play!
