Learning objective

What this activity builds

Recognize structured dot quantities and combine them to solve addition facts with addends from 0 to 10.

Worked example

A five-dot figure plus a two-dot figure equals what?

7

Recognize 5 without recounting, then count on two more: 6, 7.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Ask “How did you see the dots?” to develop subitizing strategies.
  • A zero figure is an empty quantity, not a missing image. Choose addends up to 10 when the learner is ready.
