A fun way to practise subitising/subitizing and to move students from additive thinking to multiplicative thinking.

Students work in pairs and stand either side of each foot. Students subitise/subitize and work out the total number of dots on each foot. They share their totals and their thinking strategies. Students are encouraged to move from counting each dot individually, to making “groups of” to develop their mental computation strategies.

The feet are laid out in a path as a fun indoor or outdoor activity to reinforce important Math strategies. The pairs of students move to the next foot along the path after they share their total number and thinking strategies. The teacher can easily monitor through observation which students are still working in the additive stage and which students are thinking multiplicatively.

The students love the interaction within this activity. It is a fun way to reinforce important Math strategies and to encourage students to “think aloud” sharing mental computation strategies.

There are 16 feet in the set (catering for up to 32 students at a time for a whole class activity, or several small group activities). The feet can be laminated and cut out for durability.
