Welcome to the robot factory – where maths and machines come together! In this creative and engaging digital game, students earn robot parts for every correct answer. As they progress, they’ll build a unique robot by mixing and matching heads, bodies, arms, and legs. Once complete, their robot joins the dance floor for a fun celebration!

This version focuses on comparing small groups of chips. Students must look at two different collections and determine which one has more. Through this activity, they develop early counting, subitising, and comparison skills – all critical for building a strong number foundation in the early years.

Which Has More? Counting & Comparing Chips LET’S BUILD offers a hands-on, visual way for Foundation and Year 1 students to practise comparing numbers in a purposeful and interactive setting. With every correct response, they see their robot come to life, making the learning journey fun and motivating.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Compare collections of objects to identify the group with the greater number
• ✅ Use visual cues and subitising to support early comparison strategies
• ✅ Develop number sense and reasoning in a playful, game-based context
• ✅ Strengthen fluency with counting and quantity recognition
• ✅ Engage with interactive maths tasks that reward accuracy and perseverance

How to Play:

1. Students begin by selecting a character and choosing solo or team mode.
2. They are shown two groups of chips and asked to identify which has more.
3. Each correct answer earns a robot part – head, body, arms, or legs.
4. As the game continues, the robot is built piece by piece.
5. When the robot is complete, it performs a fun dance to celebrate their success!

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use in Foundation or Year 1 maths rotations focused on comparing quantities
• 💡 Project on the interactive whiteboard for a whole-class maths warm-up
• 💡 Follow up with hands-on manipulatives for students to recreate and compare real sets
• 💡 Combine with related activities like subitising or counting collections for a number sense focus

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task

Let’s Build – Which Has More? Counting & Comparing Chips makes number comparison fun, interactive, and purposeful – while giving students a chance to flex their creativity and celebrate their success with a dance party!
