Count my dots
place value · counting dots and writing number words
To review counting and write numbers in words [1.NBT.A.1].
Count my dots is a Grade 1 counting and number-word game that uses dominoes to connect quantities with written number names. Students count the dots on a domino, then write that number in words for the group to check. The domino format keeps the quantities visible while students move between counting objects, recognizing a number, and spelling its name.
This small-group game works well for early number review when students need practice representing the same quantity in more than one way. It also gives you a quick look at whether errors come from counting or from writing number words. Generate the lesson for Count my dots with a free Find a Math Game account.
