Subitizing is the ability to instantly recognize the number of objects without actually counting them. Much like the importance of being able to calculate estimates, subitizing is something that comes up in the everyday lives of students – at Ocala, FL
In this playful invitation the focus is on developing the ability to label small groups without counting. SUBITIZING

- When did we decide to start by teaching 2D shapes? Was it because of the advent of workbooks in classrooms? Encourage children to experience 3D-ness of shapes.
- Let's be careful how we define shapes. "A square is a special kind of rectangle." #trueStory
- My brain hurts. :)

The link between spatial reasoning and math is so strong that is "almost as if they are one and the same thing". #StanislasDahaene. @eriksonmath #ILoveEarlyMath

A few of the remarks on Spatial Reasoning from @eriksonmath #MemeMaking #SummerInstitute
- Strongly connected to mathematical thinking
- An important predictor of achievement in STEM careers
- Receives the least amount of attention in early math education
Day 2 of our MEME Summer Institute: Meaning-making in Early Math Education. Today it’s all about Spatial Thinking! Follow and use #iLoveEarlyMath all week.

Teachers' critical analysis of learners' thinking is crucial in helping learners to improve their thinking.
Do you talk about student work with other teachers? Analyzing student work w/ colleagues has many benefits, from better understanding children’s current math thinking to considering how to adjust instruction.

✨One-to-one correspondence MATTERS @EufaulaELC.
Children love to count. Counting helps them make sense of the world and to find out how many of something. With time and practice, children develop an understanding of the “rules” or principles of counting.
Why One-to-One Correspondence Matters

Interesting article about maths development for children aged 0 - 3. The book explores 4 precursor concepts: attribute, comparison, change and pattern. Looking forward to reading the book from the perspective of a parent, a teacher and someone involved in teacher education. 1/3
Groundbreaking Book Explains the Beginning of Math Concepts for Infants and Toddlers... "this book extends professional knowledge for mathematics teaching to teachers who work with the very youngest learners..."

We love collecting data in Kindergarten, the next step is graphing that data. Here are 3 books that encourage simple graph explorations with young children 👇
At the heart of it, GRAPHING in the early years is about quantifying information in order to answer a question.
