With all of the new math common core in the classroom, a new word I learned is "subitizing." When I first heard it, I said "WAIT...WHAT?!!!!!" Now my kindergarten babies can say it and they know what it means!!! Incredible!!!! My kid friendly definition is "seeing a small number of objects (1-10ish for my k-babies) and knowing the number immediately." It's like my babies seeing the sight word "the" and knowing it without sounding it out. It is amazing to when my babies see 8 blocks on a tens frame and know that the number is 8 without counting....and we are just on the 16th day of school!!!!! Math fluency!!!! I love it!
I have a fabulous FREE math game in my TPT store...just click the link and download the game!!! We play the game like Memory in our math centers. The students love it!!!
Enjoy!!!
