recognise and name the number of objects within a collection up to 5 using subitising

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• recognising how many objects are in a collection or in images on a card with a quick look and saying the associated number without counting
• playing instructive card games that rely on the recognition of numbers represented in different ways; for example, playing memory games, matching pairs of quantities on dot cards or similar where the arrangement on each is different; using subitising to compare and order collections and to say who has more when sharing items in a game
