What is subitizing numbers?

Subitizing is the ability to instantly recognize “how many” in a small set. A perfect example of subitizing is dice; when you roll a dice and you see two dots on top, you instantly recognize it as representing a quantity of two. You don’t need to count each dot on the dice to figure it out, right?

Have a great week!
