Visit the robot factory where creativity takes centre stage! In this engaging digital game, students explore a series of colourful image sets to select three that meet the target criteria. Each correct group earns them a new robot part, bringing them one step closer to completing their robot masterpiece!

In this version of the game, students practise comparing quantities by identifying which collection of stickers has less. Each screen displays several groups of stickers with varying amounts, and students must select the three images that match the “less than” prompt. With each correct selection, they collect new robot parts to build their custom creation.

Let’s Build: Which Has Less? Counting & Comparing Stickers encourages visual comparison, number awareness, and critical thinking in a playful, hands-on format. It’s ideal for learners who are developing early comparison skills and exploring quantity relationships.

Key Learning Outcomes

• ✅ Identify the collection that has fewer items when comparing groups
• ✅ Develop early understanding of quantity and numerical comparison
• ✅ Practise using visual strategies to count and compare sets
• ✅ Build problem-solving and reasoning skills through repeated exploration

How to Play

1. Students choose a character and enter the robot factory.
2. A prompt appears asking them to find images showing fewer stickers than the target amount.
3. Students review a set of sticker collections and select three that correctly match the “less than” criteria.
4. Each correct trio earns a robot part.
5. The game continues until all robot pieces are collected and the robot is complete!

Ideas for Classroom Use

• 💡 Introduce during lessons on comparing numbers and understanding “more” and “less.”
• 💡 Use as a hands-on maths rotation task during small group instruction.
• 💡 Pair with physical sticker sets or manipulatives to allow students to build their own collections for comparison.
• 💡 Extend learning with a drawing task where students create their own sticker collections to compare.

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 Less? Counting & Comparing Stickers supports key early maths concepts in a format that’s both engaging and interactive. By blending visual comparison with creativity, students strengthen their understanding of “less than” while building a robot of their own.
