Explore outer space and collect different objects to earn space badges as you warp between galaxies with every correct answer. With each successful question, students travel deeper into the cosmos, building their confidence while collecting rewards from across the stars!

In this version, students will compare two groups of stickers and decide which collection has less. This helps develop early number sense, counting, and comparison skills - laying the foundation for more complex maths concepts like subtraction and place value.

Let’s Explore – Which Has Less? Counting & Comparing Stickers is perfect for Foundation and Year 1 students learning to compare quantities. Use it during rotations, number warm-ups, or independent practise via the QR code to boost early numeracy in a fun and interactive way.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Compare two groups of objects to identify which has fewer
• ✅ Develop one-to-one correspondence and counting accuracy
• ✅ Strengthen understanding of early comparison language (less/fewer)
• ✅ Build number sense and early reasoning strategies
• ✅ Engage in visual number practise through interactive, space-themed play

How to Play:

1. Students are shown two sticker collections side by side.
2. They count and compare to determine which group has fewer items.
3. Each correct answer earns them a space object and warps them to the next galaxy.
4. Objects collected contribute to their space badge tally.
5. At the end, students are shown all the badges they’ve earned during their space mission.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during early maths lessons focused on comparing numbers and quantities
• 💡 Great for Foundation to Year 1 students practising early counting skills
• 💡 Add to independent practise rotations or morning warm-ups
• 💡 Pair with hands-on sticker sorting tasks for additional comparison practise

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
