Sort the tokens into the rooms and find every way to make the number.
The number house is a hands-on activity for the last year of kindergarten: the child shares a collection of tokens between two rooms of a house and discovers every way to make the same number up to 10. Three activities: the free house (explore one decomposition), the wall of ways (find them all, exhaustiveness is the heart of the task), the cup (find the hidden part, the complement). The target number, shown three ways (digit, dot pattern, voice), is set by the teacher. In line with the kindergarten curriculum, decomposition is acted out and spoken, not written: no addition sign is shown. Complements to 10 directly prepare first-grade mental arithmetic.
In a guided workshop, the teacher sets the number and asks the child to say it aloud: three and two make five. On the interactive board, the enlarged house supports a whole-class discussion of the ways found. The cup mode works on the complement (how many more to make ten?). Sound is off by default: tapping the icon repeats the instruction as often as needed.
The last year of kindergarten (around age 5). It prepares first-grade complements but uses no written addition.
In kindergarten, decomposition is manipulated and spoken. Written symbols (4 + 1 = 5) are not a kindergarten goal: they come in first grade.
Set the number to 10 and choose the cup mode: the child looks for how many tokens are hidden, which is exactly the complement to 10.
