It's Thursday and time for a Thrifty Thursday link up with Greg from Kindergarten Smorgasboard. Subitizing? *to perceive at a glance the number of items presented *instantly seeing how many In Kindergarten we spend a lot of the year working on subitizing. At the start of my math hour, I show 3-4 dot images for a few seconds each and we discuss what the students saw. This is called "Number Talks". You can find more information in the book Number Talks by Sherry Parrish. I haven't read this book, but have heard great things! While attending a math training this past spring, I was able to "make and take" these subitizing plates. I keep a stack of them at my teacher chair so they are ready to be used whenever I need them! They are easy to make and Thrifty, with a capital "T"!!! ************************* Materials needed: Paper plates - I used a heavy cardboard style plate that my school had on hand Bingo markers - you can also use regular markers and draw circles or use circle stickers Simply copy the dot patterns onto the paper plates - don't forget zero! Here are the dot patterns that you can copy. Click above to access the pdf. ************************* Check out this video from the Teaching Channel. It gives you an idea on how to use the plates. The teacher here uses a ten frame, which I use a little later in the year.
