Let’s count and create with Let’s Build – How Many? In this engaging early number game, students use the dots on dice images to practise counting up to 15. Each correct answer earns them a robot part, helping them bring their robot to life one piece at a time!

Visit the robot factory where you will mix and match various body parts to build a robot. Use the dots on the dice to answer the questions. Includes counting up to 15. Students must carefully count the number of dots shown and choose the correct numeral from the multiple-choice options.

Let’s Build – How Many? is perfect for students in early years to Year 1 who are developing one-to-one correspondence, subitising, and early counting strategies. The game combines visual counting practise with the motivation of building a unique robot creation.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Count quantities up to 15 using visual representations
• ✅ Match dot patterns to their correct numeral value
• ✅ Strengthen one-to-one correspondence and number fluency
• ✅ Engage in hands-on, game-based number learning

How to Play:

1. Students are shown a dice image with a set number of dots (from 0 to 15).
