Patterns and Combinations: Subitising Numbers
WALT identify and describe number patterns WALT explore combinations of numbers within 10 WALT recognise different ways to make 5 and other numbers
What is Subitising?
Seeing numbers without counting one by one Like seeing 3 dots and knowing it's 3 instantly Our brains can do this quickly with small numbers It helps us become faster at maths
Quick Flash Activity
Teacher shows dot cards for 2 seconds Students call out the number No counting allowed - just look and say! Try numbers 1 to 5
Making 5 in Different Ways
5 can be made with 2 + 3 5 can be made with 4 + 1 5 can be made with 5 + 0 All these combinations equal 5!
Finding Patterns in Numbers
{"left":"Look at the ten frame patterns\nNotice how dots are grouped\nSome numbers have even groups","right":"Some numbers have uneven groups\nPatterns help us see numbers quickly\nPatterns make maths easier"}
Partner Challenge: Make 6 Three Ways
Work with your partner Use counters and ten frames Find 3 different ways to make 6 Draw or show your combinations
Can you see the pattern?
Look at this ten frame showing 8 How many different ways can you make 8? What patterns do you notice? Share your thinking with a friend
What We Learned Today
We can see numbers quickly without counting Numbers can be made in different ways Patterns help us understand numbers better We found at least 3 ways to make 5 and other numbers
