A key mathematical skill kindergarteners must work towards is building number sense. This skill is critical in helping students to build a solid math foundation so that they can learn more complex concepts. One of the areas of number sense that is important to focus on is subitizing.

What is Subitizing?
Subitizing is when a student is able to instantly see "how many" without needing to count each one individually when numbers are represented by objects such as dots, tally marks, ten frames, or fingers being held up.
We subitize with dice where we can just look at the dice and we instantly know the number it represents without having to count each dot individually.
How Can Students Practice Subitizing?
When having young students complete these color by number worksheets, I often have the students color the crayons at the top of the page as a key so that they can see at a glance which color goes with each number.
In this subitizing practice, students should be able to look at the pictures and determine the number it represents. However, students who are still practicing this skill can count any numbers they don't immediately recognize.
