Number Sense

Super fun and educational Dinosaur Subitising Activities to help your EYFS students learn how to “see how many, at a glance without counting!” A stack of dinosaur-themed subitising Games, Clipcards, Playdough Mats, Flash Cards and more for teaching perceptual and conceptual subitising with ease.

These Dinosaur themed subitising activities and teaching resources have been carefully created to nurture and develop the ability of Kindergarten, Preprimary & Preschool aged students to “see how many in a group without counting”; or subitise (subitize).

It would be easy for children to count to find the answer to questions of “how many?” So it’s important to remember that Subitising is the ability to “See without counting”, and children need to be encouraged to do this and NOT COUNT how many are in a collection; if they are to develop this early number sense skill.

There are 3 key learning points that you need to include when teaching children subitising, including teaching them to:

1. Recognise the number of items in a small collection without counting
2. Use subitising to order groups of objects
3. Use subitising to compare collections
