On a die the dots show a number.
⚀ = 1 ⚁ = 2 ⚂ = 3
⚃ = 4 ⚄ = 5 ⚅ = 6
Which die fits? Connect the number with the matching dice face.
Two dice: Add up the dots of both dice and find the matching sum.
Connect each number with the matching dice face. The lines show the answer.
Example
For parents
What does this exercise practice?
This task firms up the dice faces as a symbol for amounts: children learn to recognize dot patterns in a flash and link them directly to a number, without counting one by one.
Common pitfalls
Children usually know the dice faces from 1 to 3 well; for 4, 5 and 6 they count one by one. Rolling dice in everyday games (board games) trains pattern recognition best.
How to practice at home
At the next board game: whoever names the dice number first, without counting, gets to roll again. Even a few game nights fix the faces in memory for good.
