Making Five Color Match Game


making 5 in math

Alligator Five is a new math activity for making Numbers to 5 that I've just added to the bundle.

As well as helping your children match and remember colors in order, they will discover ways of making 5.

fluency within 5

Using their play mat they add counters in a row to match the card.

Make it more challenging by:
  • having students make 2 at a time and see ways to make 10
  • have them flip the card over and re-make the pattern from memory
  • play a listening game - put 10 alligator cards out and say the color names of one card - students look and find it (e.g. pink, green, green, green, pink) 
  • say an addition sentence (2+3) and have students find a colored card that matches

The resource includes a recording page - students can record their work with numbers and symbols.
