The Match ‘Em All Game
This bingo-like game allows children to think about numbers in different ways. Children roll a dot cube and try to find one or more matches on their board. Though the representations may look different, two dots on the cube can match a picture of two blocks, two fingers on a hand, or the numeral 2 when we think about the meaning of the number 2. The first player to match ’em all, wins!

Why is this important?
By using multiple representations of the numbers one through four, this game focuses children on the attribute of quantity of small sets and helps them build a more robust number sense.
