My Teachers Notebook Store


I took the plunge and decided to dive right in! I invite you to stop by and check out the items I have posted. Any feedback you have, I would greatly appreciate it as this is a whole new world :)!

This one is a FREEBIE! Are your students working on recognizing and associating numbers and quantities of numbers 1-5? If so, this is a great game to use in a math center. Students can work in pairs - Let the learning and fun begin!

Quick images or dot images help children subtitize (develop automaticity with number and quantity - basically seeing four items and knowing there are four without counting). I have included two links to help demystify subtitizing.

This link is from Pre-k Pages - http://www.pre-kpages.com/subitizing/
Pre-k Pages provides a simple definition and easy activities to try either in the classroom or at home!

If you would like to delve a little deeper into the world of subtitizing, I would suggest reading the following article: Subitizing: What is it? Why Teach It? By: Douglas H. Clements. He is a professor at the University of Buffalo and has written over 100 research articles! WOW!

Clements suggests an activity, that helps develop patterning skills and listening skills. He suggests invloving auditory rhythms with numeral writing activites. For ex., ask your students to listen for the number of rings on a bell before writing the number down. What a great idea! http://teacherweb.com/WA/nachesvalleyprimaryschool/msclark/Subs.PDF
