Videos: Use chunking to subitize to 10
Subitizing is perceiving the number of items in a group without counting them one by one. It builds number sense and can be used in math intervention. Chunking allows larger numbers to be subitized and builds foundations for addition. The videos in this playlist let children SEE randomly arranged real objects, DECIDE how many there are, SEE the chunking applied, and then HEAR the answer. Added Oct. 27, 2020
