"Subitizing is a fundamental skill in the development of students' understanding of number" (Baroody 1987, 115). Students can use pattern recognition to discover essential properties of number, such as conservation and compensation. They can develop such capabilities as unitizing, counting on, and composing and decomposing numbers, as well as their understanding of arithmetic and place value-all valuable components of number sense. (from: NCTM)

We are subitizing superstars!

Today we used our bodies to help us subitize the numbers on our giant dice! 

Help with subitizing at home! 

Roll a dice, ask your child what number it is. 

They should be able to say the correct number instantly!

Show them these arrangements to see if they can subitize up to 10?
