Ladybird Maths for Pc

1. Students are asked to share a given amount of spots across one, two or three ladybirds, then select how many spots each ladybird has on the keypad.

2. This section asks students to count half of the spots that appear, then use the keypad to answer.

3. Ladybird Maths uses the symmetrical image of a lady bird and her spots to teach and build mental mathematics number facts of doubling and halving.

4. Student initially may share out the spots one at a time, whilst later they may come to subitise or count the spots then move the correct number to each ladybird.

5. Some students may quickly come to realise that this means counting one-to one the spots on one wing, whilst others will subitise the number on one wing.

6. Initially, students may count each spot by touching them 'one-to one', then they may come to recognise the spots automatically, this is called 'subitising'.

7. Some students may neglect moving of the spots and attain the answer, pressing the keypad answer straight away.

8. Some students may count the spots twice, then use the keypad.

9. A reversal of sharing, the spots are placed on 1, 2, 3 or 4 ladybirds, students answer with how many spots altogether.

10. Finally students will subitise the spots (know the number automatically), then recall the doubles fact.

11. Students may then place counters on the ladybird, then 'count on' from the highest number e.g. if four was already there, they may count 5, 6, 7, 8.
