Subitizing Dot Cards! 36 Cards Number Talks Editable

Subitizing Dot Cards! 36 Cards Number Talks

Includes dot cards representing numbers 1-10, as well as a blank 4 card template that is editable for you to make any other dot formation you would like. Two response sheets are also included that you can use as a formative assessment for these number sense standards or just as a way for students to have a written response and show their knowledge.

You can use these task cards during whole group, small, group, math stations.

Dot Cards are used to build number sense.

I use these during Number Talks. I show the card and then ask students "How many do you see?" "How do you see that many?" and allow students to explain if they counted one to one or saw a group of 4 and another group of 3 and counting on to find the answer 7. Students may also say they saw 3 and 3 more and know it's doubles, 3 and 3 is 6, etc.

For students that enjoy hands on learning you can place these cards in a math station and then have students recreate these number formations with counters or any manipulative of your choice.

PRO TIP:

After using these in the classroom for awhile consider printing a set for each student to take home to “show off” how great they are at subitizing dot cards. Use the word subitizing and tell them their parents will be impressed with the use of that vocabulary word as well. They may even teach their parents something new and you know students love that!

PRINTING TIP:

If you are having trouble printing, try saving the document as a PDF then printing.
