This ordering of numbers game is a great digital math activity to help seriate, and find missing numbers to 10. Display the game on your projector, or use with students individually to practice "counting on" when finding the missing number in a series of three numbers.

This activity is the FIRST step to master when finding the missing number in a set of three. Stay tuned as I am working to create similar games with missing middle and initial number skills that will build on the previous steps.

This game goes well with my Missing Middle Number Google Slides Game!

The slide deck includes 8 question slides that lead to various other slides (either a "correct" slide or an "oops! try again" slide with celebration slides that include a drop in crayon for each correct answer!

Your students can click on the correct answer and "win" a crayon for the crayon box. If the answer is incorrect, students simply click on the ruler to return them to the question. As the students complete all the questions correctly, they come to the final screen where the collected crayons drop into the box!

Developing number sense and fluency with subtraction is an effective way to improve flexibility with numbers. Improve place value understanding and math reasoning skills for your first grade and second grade students by practicing subtraction with multiples of ten within 100!

These cards can be printed 2-sided, laminated, and cut to create quick practice activities for your students. Have students time each other in centers, set up fluency grids, or use them as a quick progress monitoring tool.

You will get 120 cards in total.

When printed 2-sided, cards will show the equation with the answer on the back.

Subitizing Domino Clip Cards || Numbers 1-12 || Domino Variations

These subitizing clip cards were created to be used in busy bins, activities for math center, an activity for small group instruction, or as an assessment tool.

What's Included?

. 22 black and white clip cards

. Single domino representations on each clip card

. 22 cards representing numbers 1-12

What is Subitizing?

Subitizing is a skill that involves quickly recognizing quantities without counting. As students develop their subitizing skills, they move through different phases, or levels, of subitizing:

• Perceptual subitizing
  This is the first phase of subitizing, and involves instantly recognizing small quantities, usually up to five. It's instinctive, and is often taught first because it's a building block for the next level. For example, a student might quickly name the quantity of four gems as "four".

• Conceptual subitizing
  This phase involves identifying the quantity of smaller groups within larger sets, and then combining them to name the total. For example, a student might see two fours in the eight of a domino. This phase requires more thought than perceptual subitizing.

How Do I Use These Cards?

. Simply print, cut, and laminate (these can be used over and over again for years to come)

. Encourage students to look at each card and group the numbers to get a total. This can be accomplished by counting each dot and adding together or by subitizing

. Promote fine motor skills by having students mark the correct answer with clothespins. You can differentiate for students by having them place buttons, pom-poms, or other small objects on the numbers as they identify them.

Suggested Uses:

. Assessment tool to determine students subitizing level

. Add to math centers for students to freely explore and count

. Add to morning boxes or busy boxes for students to complete

. Use as part of small group work to assess counting principles (stable order, correspondence, cardinality, abstraction, and order irrelevance).

. Use as part of transition times as (lining up, walking in halls, handwashing) to have students subitize while they wait
