Hi Lynn,
I am going to put your blog on our blog roll and that way others can see your ideas. I just sent you an email to see if that would work better for you to send me this idea. Thanks,
Jen

I love reading your blog. Lots of good ideas to share.
May I add another view of subitizing for young children?
I\’m not sure this will work in a blog comment so if the graphics get distorted, you may email me at lynn@kuskemath.com

How many dots do you see here? o o
Did you have to count them?
The ability to see four dots in a square pattern and know with accuracy, confidence, and speed that there are four, is innate in all children.
Let\’s use this ability. If we represent
1 as o
2 as o o
o
3 as o o
o o
4 as o o
o
o o
and 5 as o o

children can play and put the patterns together and take them apart to see the part-part-whole relationships. This cannot be done with the patterns on dice, dominoes, and playing cards.
For more information, see our website http://www.4groupmath.com
We are trying to make more of our materials available for free online so more people can use this simple method to develop sound number sense in young children. Lynn Kuske
