Everyone welcome! # Reception Maths - Subitising Pairs ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0169.JPG) 8 January 2026 This week in Maths, we have been revisiting our subitising skills to 5. We have moved onto looking at different frames and arrangements to help us subitise quickly, e.g. fingers on our hand, spots on a dice and numicon pieces. The children then took turns to play a game of 'pairs' where they had to turn over different cards to see if they could subitise and find a matching pair. They were brilliant at spotting the equal amounts! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0169.JPG) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Maths](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0261(1).png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-07-year-6-nspcc-speak-out-stay-safe) Previous ### [Year 6 - NSPCC Speak out stay safe ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-07-year-6-nspcc-speak-out-stay-safe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/3DDBB286-7B66-4FF8-A7A7-D926A6BC035F.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-09-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-09-friday-celebration-worship) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
