Subitizing...?


This week in maths we have enjoyed playing different games to improve our ability to subitize. Subitizing is a fancy name for seeing smaller groups of dots within a larger group to work out how many dots there are, without actually counting them. It's a great way to develop basic facts knowledge and reinforces the idea that numbers can be shown in a lot of different ways: eg: 8 can be 5 and 3, 7 and 1, 4 and 4 or 6 and 2. 


Games we played include Deal and Copy, Memory Match and What's the difference. Whatever game was played, lots of fun and lots of learning was had by all!
