🏠🔢 Subitising Houses!

We have been learning to recognise amounts without counting each object. This is called subitising.

Subitising is an important early number skill as it helps children develop strong number sense and confidence with numbers. 💙

🔢 Subitising and number practice through play! 🎲

P1 loved practising subitising using our new song, “Subitise, Subitise, use your eyes to subitise!” 🎵👀

Subitising: to know the number rolled by the #dice without having to count the dots. From subitus, sudden. It comes without warning.

Recognition is not the same as understanding. Sometimes the pattern is glimpsed without counting the cost.

Its @mathsweek.scot this week. We played lots of class subitising and counting games today whilst also learning about the number 9. We enjoyed the subitising puzzles 😊

Nursery have been subitising this morning (identifying numbers by sight) using dominoes.

We have been developing our subitising skills!🔢

Children looked at dot patterns & worked out how many there were without counting each dot. They then pegged the answer they thought was correct.

This helps children recognise amounts quickly & develop strong number sense & confidence with numbers.🌟

We completed a throw and count mission to practise our subitising skills. The children enjoyed counting the dots and recognising quantities quickly without needing to count each one individually. 😊

Primary 1s loved exploring our new maths resources today! Through play, they practised subitising, adding, and number recognition. ✨🔢

🏠🔢 Subitising Houses!

Today, the children matched numbers to quantities in our houses. They looked carefully and identified how many there were without counting.

This helps develop quick number recognition, strong number sense and confidence with quantities. 💙

2/2 2/2 Also this little girl in a Nursery class in the summer term - these are not our pupils in the videos - is terrific. Conceptual subitising... youtu.be/Y9RmfiAtevc. #EduSky #UKMathsChat

I occasionally delude myself that I know something about stats. Today I learned a word from my 6 year old granddaughter: “subitising”. I told her she must mean “summarising”. Now that she’s asleep I have looked it up. Apologies will be due at breakfast.

It's called subitising. Most people can learn how to quickly assess 5 or 6 things accurately. (Don't get cocky, so can crows.) Pharmacists can get real good, what with counting out pills all day, but this here feels like a Rain Man-type situation

We have been looking at subitising in numeracy and in literacy we have been learning some letter sounds!

P1 rolled 🎲 today and then said the amount. They also matched dice and Numicon. #numbers1-6 @stjosephsps.bsky.social #thestjoesstory #subitising

A group of Primary 1 pupils decided to play dominos. Through taking turns, pupils practised counting, matching and subitising. 😊

P1 have been super busy in maths. We have been revising numbers to 20 and beyond as well as learning to use subitising skills where we need to estimate an amount. Super work P1! 👍

One's a snail, ten is a crab is great for teaching maths, from subitising in EYFS to substitution in year 6.

Nursery have been focusing on subitising 🎲 in maths and enjoyed playing with the big dominoes today. Fantastic subitising and turn taking Nursery!

You don’t need fancy expensive resources and copious printing to teach literacy and numeracy.

Thinking of writing a book or a blog about how to teach with low cost, low prep resources.

Lots of learning in R1 yesterday- sound sorting, letter formation and even subitising!

Dosbarth Alwen have had a wonderful time this week! They have enjoyed Drawing Club, developed their understanding of nouns, practised their subitising skills, and explored our outdoor classroom.

An👌🏾example of functional maths, seen and experienced as I refereed at a Boccia tournament yesterday.

* Angles
* Counting (Subitising)
* Estimation
* Measurement
* Probability and strategy
* Scoring
* Spatial reasoning

Even wore my measuring tape earrings for good measure 🤣.

Nursery have been enjoying subitising and showing how many with ‘finger numbers’ using this spinning wheel!
