Subitising Flash Cards 4+

Little Monkey Apps Subitising provides beginning counters the opportunity to practice and test their subitising knowledge to quickly recognise small groups of objects without counting.
When you look at a die, you don’t need to count the dots. This immediate response is called subitising. Young students need repetition and practice to do this, as they do not always ‘trust the count’.
Students can then build on this knowledge of standard patterns (die patterns) to look at non-standard patterns, mentally and visually manipulating the position of the objects and subitise the objects present.

Subitising provides opportunities for students to ‘trust the count’ which links to early addition and subtraction, counting on and counting back. Subitising allows students to see and interpret patterns and part-whole relationships such as 2+1+2=5 on a die.

Little Monkey Apps Subitising is designed to be used with an adult, peer work or for independent learning for short periods of time. The App is presented in sections to provide a variety of experiences.
