If you're teaching children to become fluent with numbers, addition and subtraction within 5 our House Count cards are here to help! The pack includes 30 activity cards and a math craft!
The visual support on each card (2 sets of dots 2-5, in non-standard arrangements within a 6 frame) provides an opportunity to support a range of foundational concepts while focusing on addition.
Use the houses as activity cards
- Students will take a card and record the addition using a dry erase marker.
- Before recording the addition they can cover each dot with a plastic math counter for hands-on counting.
Use the houses in a class listening math warm up
- put 3 cards on display
- clap-click a pattern to match the addition (pink=claps, blue=clicks)
- e.g. the teacher performs clap, clap, clap, click - the students identify the house with 3 pink and one blue dot
Use the house cards for a comparing number warm up
- put 2 cards up on display - one clearly to the left, one to the right
- students quickly identify the house that has more, raising their matching hand to indicate
