Number Sense

Find the Number http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/numbertime/games/find_the.shtml
This game will help to develop the skills of number recognition and matching. Children look along the wall to find the number which matches the one on Bill 's chest. When the correct number is found, Bernie appears to play on the see-saw. An incorrect choice results in a clanging sound.

More Than One http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/teletubbies/funandgames/morethanone/
This game helps your count up to four and back down to one. Using the space bar is much easier for the child than the mouse, so it will boost their confidence and familiarity with a keyboard. This game can be enjoyed by blind or partially-sighted children. The space bar is easy for little fingers to find, and they can also count up and down with the sound of 'Eh-oh' and 'Bye-bye'.

Noo-noo’s Sucky Slurpy Game http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/teletubbies/funandgames/sucky_slurpy/index.shtml

It has also been designed to be as easy as possible for a young audience to play with space bar control throughout. It can also be played by switch users. Just press your switch button instead of the space bar to help the Noo-noo.

Find One More http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/numbertime/games/find.shtml
This game offers opportunities to develop the concepts and language of adding 'one more' through a (Concentration type) pair finding activity. There are four pairs of matching pictures hidden behind each grid, revealed by clicking on the tiles. When a pair is found, the pictures remain in view. Incorrect choices become hidden again. You can also introduce positional language in searching for pairs, encouraging children to describe the locations in which pictures were previously seen. Use words such as 'below', 'between', 'next to', and 'above'.
