It is an important skill that helps develop number sense and prepare children for mental math.Learning GoalsThis game is designed to help children strengthen their subitizing skills as they:Recognize sets of one to five objects without countingLearn and reinforce number names and symbols Understand that quantity can be represented by a numeral or a set of objectsUnderstand that the quantity of a set is not affected by the arrangement of the objects in the setCity Skate is part of the four-game subitizing suite from Early Math with Gracie & Friends, a first-of-its-kind mobile app brand based in early learning sciences, rigorously researched and developed specifically for preschool classroom use.
