Subitising!

One of our new words last week was SUBITISING.  The word comes from the Italian word subito which means 'immediately' or 'right now'.  This is where a small group of objects can be identified quickly without counting them.  It is an important skill  because by chunking information, subitising contributes to early forms of grouping.  The process of subitising can also be used with seeing parts in the whole.  We have been learning some games to help us get better at subitising.  Our speed is improving and we have played well and worked Interdependently.

Subitise me!

Where is the correct equation?  Can I get 4 in a row before my buddy does?
