In math, we have been learning a lot about sorting and subitizing. Below are some photos of the kids on Thursday, Nov. 1 demonstrating their learning.
Subitizing is the ability to ‘see’ a small amount of objects and know how many there are without counting. Subitizing is what tells you what number you roll on a six sided dice – most adults no longer have to count the dots after playing board games for a while.
Subitizing is a fundamental skill in the development of students’ understanding of numbers. Students use patterns recognized to discover properties and skills such as counting 1-to-1 correspondence, counting on, composing and decomposing numbers, as well as understanding of arithmetic and place value.spa
Here is a link to a great concentration game that practices subitizing skills - Concentration with Subitizing. The kids have really developed their ability to subitize and it has been exciting to watch them learn! Have your child teach you the game.
