Which Total is Bigger?

In one of our Maths sessions this week we played a card game to explore adding numbers together to reach a total. We also discovered that it is quicker to count in groups of 2 when counting collections. Another discovery we made was to count on from the largest number to find out the total. This was a great game!

Hello
What a good idea to use cards to add your numbers together. We use the counting on from the largest number strategy as well.
We like the music with your slideshow.

We use a number line to help us count. We think using cards sounds like lots of fun and would like to try.
