Use these hands-on one more one less activities to strengthen number sense skills in preschool and kindergarten.

So your kids have learned to count. Maybe they can count to 10, 20…even 100! Does that mean you’re done teaching them the math skills they’ll need?

Of course not! Learning to count is just one small step on the path to mathematical understanding, or number sense. Developing number sense is a key focus throughout the early years and beyond, and the process includes a variety of skills.

In this specific article we’re going to take a look at one of these skills, understanding one more and one less. Although this seems obvious to us as adult learners kids can often struggle with this concept, particlarly one less. Providing them with many concrete experiences with hands-on materials can lead them to a deep understanding of the concept, and this will support them later on as they need to rely on the concept of one more and one less to do more complex math problems.

WHAT IS NUMBER SENSE?

But first, you may still not have a clear picture of number senses and why it’s important. This video from Build Math Minds gives a good overview.

TEACHING TIPS & MAJOR CONCEPTS KIDS WILL LEARN

This article from Maths No Problem shares some of the signs of what good number sense looks like and what poor number sense looks like.

For additional reading on number sense skills and how to teach them, these books are helpful.

ONE MORE ONE LESS ACTIVITIES ON FANTASTIC FUN AND LEARNING

The great thing about one more one less activities is there are many opportunities to naturally weave them into your daily routines if you are intentional about it.

Here on Fantastic Fun and Learning I’ve outlined a series of three hands-on activities you do with any small items (math manipulatives).

Once you learn the simple steps and the math talk that goes along with the activities to deepen the learning potential, then you can also duplicate the same activities with things like snack items and small toys your child plays with throughout the day.

Learn the simple hands-on one more and one less math activities.

ONE MORE ONE LESS MATH GAMES

As kids beging to understand the concept of one more and one less we want to help them develop fluency and be able to quickly identify one more and one less without having to give it a lot of thought.

At this stage playing fun one more and one less math games can help kids develop that fluency.

TRY A ONE MORE ONE LESS MATH GAME FOR FREE

We’ve developed a full year’s worth of thematic one more and one less games to help kids revisit this skill all year long.

We’ve shared about two of the one more one less math games before, and you can try them for free with your kids..

One More, One Less Math Center Activities

Math Resources

July 22, 2019July 29, 2022

This blog post is about math facts! These activities are perfect for reinforcing 1 more, 1 less, 0 more, and 0 less by engaging them using hands-on math centers.

Teach 1 More and 1 Less

In kindergarten, students begin to learn addition and subtraction. Students explore concepts of 1 more and 1 less through acting out stories, using manipulatives, and drawing pictures. We don’t want students to memorize 1+1 is the same as 2 but through exploration gain a visual and conceptual understanding of what those terms mean.

With these activities, students will explore 1 more, 1 less, 0 more and 0 less with hands-on exploration and by writing equations. The goal is for students to learn that 1 more is the next number and 1 less is the prior number. Students also learn that adding 0 does not change the number as well as taking away 0 does not change the number.

Students will gain an understanding of 1 more/ 1 less through repeated practice using a variety of learning tools. With an assortment of learning opportunities, primary students will begin to fluently add 1 more / 1 less.

Act it Out!

Students act out 1 more / 1 fewer word problems and write a matching equation.

Flip and Build

Flip a card, build the number using a ten frame and write a matching equation.

Build it Towers!

Students further develop the concept of 1 more and 1 less by building a tower and adding 1 more or 1 less and writing an equation.

Just 1 More BINGO

A spin on the classic game, BINGO. After hearing the problem, students find the answer on their board game.

Just 1 Less BINGO

This game is great for building fact fluency. If you have students that struggle with adding 1 more and taking away 1, away them to use a ten frame or connecting cubes to help them solve.

Roll and Cover 1 More

Students roll the die and cover 1 more than the number displayed.

Puzzle Match-Up

Who doesn’t love a puzzle game? Students match the number to the equation or picture.

Processed with MOLDIV

Fishy Math!

Students represent the equation on a lake using manipulatives as fish. Then they record the equation.

1 More Board Game

This is a great partner game. Students flip over a card and solve it. If they answer correctly, they can move their token 1 space. The player to get to the finish line first wins!

1 Less Board Game

Another 2 player game. Students flip over a card, solve it and move their token if they answer correctly.

Mystery Bag

My students love count around the room activities, especially when they get to be detectives! Students count the objects in the mystery bag and record how many on a recording sheet. Then, they add 1 more and write the new equation.

Race to 10

Rev up those engines! Students roll a die and move their token 1 more (up) or 1 less (back). This is a great way for students to see 1 more is the next number and 1 less is the number before it.

Spin, Solve and Write

Students spin the spinner to create an equation to solve. They use manipulatives or drawings to show how they solved it.

Subitizing Card Game

Here’s a great enrichment activity! Students count and record how many dots are on a card, add 1 more and record the sum.

Memory Match – 1 More

Another classic game! Students match the equation with the sum.

Memory Match – 1 Less

Students match the equation with the difference.

Counting Book

Counting books are perfect for having students use drawings to model an addition or subtraction equation.

Apples – Take away counting book

Fish in the sea – addition counting book
