Consider using these images to prompt number talks around conceptual subitizing and unitizing as we push students thinking from additive to multiplicative over time...
This dot card image was shared by Jo Boaler at a recent workshop. Because there are more than 5 dots, most people will conceptually subitize by making multiple...
As you saw in the Subitizing and Unitizing videos, these Counting Principles are mighty important. Consider using these images to prompt number talks around subitizing...
Unitizing is the understanding that you can count a large group of items by counting smaller, equal groups of items from within the large group.
Movement is Magnitude is the counting and quantity principle that refers to the understanding that as you move up the counting sequence (or forwards), the quantity...
