Numerical Cognition – Subitizing (How Many)
Subitizing, also called Numerical Cognition, is the ability to recognize quantities without counting. This skill is one of the underlying skills that creates “Math Sense.” When this skill becomes automatic, it reduces the cognitive load when doing math, allowing the mind to concentrate on higher-order math functions. It is one of the skills that makes math easy for some, and the lack of it makes math a constant struggle.
These Subitizing Skills Enhancement lessons are designed to empower students by developing and strengthening their ability to quickly recognize small quantities without counting. This fundamental skill forms the cornerstone of early mathematical thinking and sets the stage for future academic success, instilling a sense of confidence and capability in each student.
Each lesson in our Subitizing Skills Enhancement Course is tailored to the individual student, building upon the previous one and gradually increasing in complexity to challenge and expand subitizing (recognizing quantities) abilities. This personalized approach ensures that each student can progress at their own comfort level, fostering a sense of reassurance and comfort.
Our curriculum is based on cutting-edge research in cognitive development and early mathematics education. It’s designed to be practical and enjoyable for adults and children alike.
