About this game

The assessment: count chocolate squares, up to 10, and write the number. The full result appears at the end.

Count the chocolates to 10: the counting assessment

This game is an assessment: it checks whether the child can count the chocolates to 10, however they are arranged. The squares form columns of different shapes. So the same quantity looks different from one question to the next. This way, the child shows that they really count, without relying on a single shape.

A game has five questions. First, a voice reads the instruction. Then the child counts the chocolate squares and writes the number. No help appears during the game. Finally, the full result appears at the end, for the child and for the adult.

After the assessment, go back over the mistakes with real objects. For example, lay out eight chocolate squares in a line, then in two columns. Ask whether the number has changed. This way, the child discovers that the quantity stays the same when the arrangement changes. They also learn to count methodically, column after column. Finally, note the numbers that are still hard so you can come back to them later.

This game is for children aged 5 to 6, in the last year of preschool. It is free on computer, tablet and phone.

Tip for counting the chocolate squares

The squares move around, but don’t get caught out! First, start at the top of a column. Then touch each square only once and say the numbers. Next, move on to the column beside it without stopping counting. The last number tells how many there are. Finally, write it.
