With a domino game, you playfully encourage the recognition and matching of structured quantities. The child learns to match the same number of dots on the domino cards. Games with structured quantities help children develop cognitive images of numerical quantities, which later make mental arithmetic in school easier. By creating domino cards out of cardboard with your child, you support their mathematical development. Alternatively, you can purchase ready-made dominoes, or print out domino cards via the links below and glue them onto cardboard. Spread the domino cards face down on the table, leaving only the starting card with a single dot visible. The child turns over a card and names the number of dots shown on it, either by recognizing the quantity at a glance or by counting the dots one by one. If the number of dots matches the starting card, the child places the card next to it. Otherwise, the card is turned face down again. The child continues to turn over cards, naming the quantities displayed. Help your child recognize and name larger quantities.
