Other Examples:

  • A child figures ‘how many’ with this thinking - "I saw groups of tens and twos, so 10, 20, 30, 40, 42, 44, 46...46!"
  • A child decomposes by saying, “I have a 10-rod, so it has 10 units of one.”

Help your student become a(n) Conceptual Subitizer with Place Value

Game-like activities ask children to name the total number in two sets, each of which has some 10s and some 1s (best in fives and tens frames).
