 * ~ // New Area: //

// **Subitising** //

//Activity Number// |||| The term "number sense" is a relatively new one in mathematics education.

How does number sense begin?
An intuitive sense of number begins at a very early age. Subitising is recognising a collection (of objects, pictures, dots on dominoes etc) without counting, simply by looking. Piaget called this ability to instantaneously recognise the number of objects in a small group 'subitising'.

Subitising is a skill that develops __before__ counting. Children learn to ‘see how many at a glance’ through games and activities. For more info on subitising go to [|Things I Wish I Knew Earlier about Teaching Maths] or [|What is Number Sense?] and scroll down. || Ideal for IWB ||  || '[| Tens Frame Flash' Movie for IWB] ||  || // New Area: // // **Numeral Recognition** // Number ||  ||   || = = || A fun activity from Heidi Songs to help with 12/21 confusion ||
