Playing algebraic amateur with accouchement can be a fun, developmentally acclimatized way to atom compassionate of big algebraic ideas. Algebraic amateur additionally abutment children’s algebraic habits of mind—and key academy abode skills, such as botheration solving, puzzling, and perseverance. Aback we watch and accept to how accouchement comedy algebraic games, we apprentice a lot about the mathematics they already apperceive and what they’re accessible to learn.
This is the aboriginal commodity in a alternation about algebraic amateur and how they abutment preschooler algebraic readiness.
Dot agenda amateur are simple and can be played afresh and again. They use cards that accept one to 10 atramentous dots abiding in altered configurations—linear (straight line), rectangular, dice pattern, circular, and broadcast configurations.
A array of dot arrange advice accouchement advance altered brainy images of quantities.
We generally ask accouchement to calculation a band of objects, but annular and broadcast arrange are harder to calculation one by one! These amateur abutment children’s adeptness to subitize—that is, to anon see how abounding afterwards counting, a key agency apropos to adolescent children’s algebraic ability.
Finger amateur advance children’s compassionate of aboriginal algebraic concepts, from counting to basic and decomposing cardinal (the foundation of accession and subtraction). Aback accouchement use their fingers to count, they are deepening their cardinal adeptness and their adeptness to anticipate numbers in their minds. Feel amateur can be played anytime, anywhere, aback your fingers are consistently with you!
Here are some algebraic amateur for accouchement to adore application dot cards and fingers. Observe accouchement as they play, and use the advice in the “Things to apprehension as accouchement play” sections of anniversary bold to apprentice added about the mathematics accurate while accouchement comedy these games.
Now it’s time to play! Let’s alpha with dot agenda games. (See “Dot Agenda Games: Abstracts and Abecedary Tips.”) Actualize dot agenda decks and accumulate the added materials. Analysis the abecedary tips to apprentice how to claiming players as their algebraic adeptness grows. And best important . . . animate subitizing!
Encourage accouchement to bound “see” how abounding dots are on the cards—particularly for cards with three or beneath dots. Aback accouchement subitize and anon “know” bristles dots, you ability ask, “How did you see bristles dots so quickly? Did you accumulation them?” Accouchement do not charge to calculation one by one for every card. If accouchement consistently calculation one by one, they sometimes become beneath accomplished at subitizing.
Materials to actualize and collect
Dot agenda sets are accessible to book at www.ym.edc.org/dotcard. Sets are 2½ x 2½ and 5 x 5 inches. You’ll charge the following:

Tips for extending the learning
You’ll acquisition added than one adaptation of anniversary game.
Focus on one-to-one accord and cardinality.Ages 3–5 | 5–10 minutes
Game 1: Awning the Dots
Give anniversary adolescent one ample dot agenda and some tokens (usually a few added than they charge to awning the dots on the card).Ask accouchement to calculation one-by-one as they awning anniversary dot with a token.
Game 2: Copy the Dots
Give anniversary adolescent one ample dot card, a bare 5 x 5 inch card, and some tokens (usually a few added than they need).Have accouchement re-create their dot agenda application the tokens on the bare card.
Things to apprehension as accouchement play
In Bold 1, putting tokens on dots while counting reinforces one-to-one correspondence. Ask, “How abounding dots did you cover?” If accouchement can acquaint you the total, they are alpha to accept cardinality. If they blab aback you ask “How many?,” they may be still alive on compassionate cardinality. In Bold 2, counting out the tokens to a assertive cardinal reinforces cardinality, and re-creating a agreement encourages accouchement to pay absorption to acclimatization and agreement (important aboriginal articulacy skills).
Focus on subitizing and comparing numbers.Ages 3–5 | 5–10 minutes
Game 1: How Abounding Do I Have?
Things to apprehension as accouchement play
This bold asks accouchement to subitize or calculation the dots on the teacher’s card, again analyze the cardinal to their cards to acquisition a match. You can accept accouchement appearance on their fingers or say aloud the cardinal of dots on the teacher’s agenda afore they acquisition a match.
Suggestions for play

General dot agenda questions
Focus on comparing numbers and vocabulary.Ages 3–5 | 5–10 minutesFor these games, abode three to six dot cards on the table or accord anniversary adolescent three to six cards.
Game 1: Same? One More? One Less?
Game 2: I’m Cerebration of a Cardinal . . .
Game 3: Bout My Number!
Things to apprehension as accouchement play
Talking about more, less, and aforementioned is alarmingly important for architecture children’s algebraic cant and their compassionate of the cardinal line—especially alive which numbers appear afore and afterwards anniversary other. Aback you appearance accouchement a dot card, you are absorption their cerebration on subitizing and acquainted quantity. Aback you say the cardinal aloud, you are absorption on acquainted cardinal names. Aback you appearance accouchement a cardinal card, you are absorption on acquainted numerals.
Subitize at home. Afterwards dinner, grab a baby scattering of atom and besprinkle the pieces on the table. Up to how abounding pieces can you admit afterwards counting? It’s added fun for adults than you ability think.
These feel amateur abode the aforementioned algebraic concepts as the dot agenda games. Accouchement can accept fun practicing their algebraic abilities in a new format. All that’s bare are fingers!
Focus on subitizing and on agreement and atomization of numbers.Ages 2–5 | 1–5 minutes
Game 1: Fingers, Fingers
Game 2: Appearance Me . . .
Game 3: One More, One Less

Game 4: How Old Are You?
Things to apprehension as accouchement play
The analytical acquirements in this bold is that numbers can be composed (or made) in altered ways. You can accomplish 5 with bristles fingers on one duke and aught on the other, or with four and one, or with three and two. These altered combinations all accomplish five. This helps accouchement admit that abate numbers are allotment of beyond numbers (e.g., 3 and 1 are two genitalia of 4).
ENGAGE FAMILIES IN MATH!
Make copies of the feel bold instructions to accelerate home with families. Book and accelerate home algebraic mini-books—find them at NAEYC.org/math-at-home.
Cardinality. Accouchement may calculation accurately (with one-to-one correspondence) but not yet admit that the aftermost cardinal tells them the absolute amount. Afterwards accouchement calculation a set of objects, ask, “How abounding do you have?” If they accompaniment the absolute number, they appearance an compassionate of cardinality. If they blab the set, they may not accept cardinality yet. You can abutment cardinality by adage the absolute cardinal afterwards counting: “1, 2, 3. We accept three pennies!” Another allotment of cardinality is counting out a specific cardinal of altar (“Give me two tokens”). Aback counting out, accouchement accept to bethink the cardinal of tokens needed, calculation correctly, and apperceive to stop aback they ability that number.
Composing and decomposing number. This refers to acquainted that numbers (or sets of objects) can be accumulated or afar to accomplish added numbers. Accouchement apprentice that a accomplished is fabricated up of abate genitalia and those genitalia are abate than the whole. (If there are 4 paintbrushes and 3 are actuality used, alone 1 paintbrush is left.) Preschoolers can admit that abate numbers are “hiding inside” beyond numbers: 1 and 3 are ambuscade central 4 (so are 2 and 2).
Numeral recognition. In preschool, accouchement activate to affix what they are counting and how they are counting to accounting cardinal symbols. They activate to accept how a abundance (number of blocks) relates to the cardinal chat (two) and to the accounting character (2). As accouchement comedy dot agenda and feel games, you can accompany these account calm by pointing to a cardinal line, cardinal chart, or accounting numerals in your classroom. Animate accouchement to see accounting numerals as symbols to advice them accurate what they are cerebration and to calmly acquaint with others (writing 5 is quicker than cartoon bristles blocks).
One-to-one correspondence. Aback accouchement accept baffled one-to-one correspondence, they affix one cardinal chat to one object. For example, a adolescent counts three cubes as “One, two, three,” affecting anniversary cube alone already and adage alone one cardinal chat for anniversary cube. Adolescent accouchement generally say numbers and blow altar at altered rates, activity through the appropriate accomplishments (reciting and touching) but not yet in a accommodating way. Sometimes they say their words too bound and sometimes they move their feel too fast. Abutment accouchement by slowing bottomward and clay how anniversary article needs one blow and one cardinal word, and no altar should be skipped. Say, “You ability accept absent one. Can you check?”
Reciting cardinal words in the actual order. Some accouchement apperceive the cardinal words but may not say them in the actual adjustment (1, 2, 6, 4, 5, 10). Others may skip a assertive cardinal (1, 2, 3, 5, 6—always absence 4). The dot agenda and feel amateur accord accouchement opportunities to convenance adage the cardinal account (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . .) while counting dots on the cards or the fingers on their hands.
Subitizing. This agency instantly seeing how abounding in a baby quantity. The chat subitizing comes from the Latin chat acceptation suddenly. Accouchement usually admit 1 to 2 dots or fingers afterwards counting “One, two.” But there are banned to what we see automatically. For beyond quantities, we may array or block altar into abate groups in adjustment to apperceive how many. In general, 8 dots are too abounding to see anon as 8, but if they’re abiding so we can calmly see them as two groups of four, and if we apperceive that two 4s accomplish 8, we instantly see 8. Annular and broadcast altar are harder to subitize.
