Finding Alone
number sense · counting · matching number names to numerals up to 10
To name numbers - up to 10 [K.CC.A.3].
Finding Alone is a Kindergarten whole-class game for matching number names with numerals up to 10. Students receive cards showing either a written number name or a numeral and move around the circle looking for the corresponding partner, while one missing card leaves a player without a match. The repeated matching connects spoken and written number language to the symbols children see in early math.
Use it when students are learning to recognize numerals and number words rather than only count objects. The movement and pairing make it easy to see which representations students connect confidently. Generate lesson support for Finding Alone with a free Find a Math Game account.
