subitizing on the iPad

Utilizing the AVG adapter to mirror the teacher iPad onto the SMARTboard, the first graders explored how "mathematicians look for and find patterns and groups within sets to recognize a quantity quickly and accurately" (subitizing) through the use of the Subitising Flash Cards app (Little Monkey Apps).

 After opportunities to subitize, sharing strategies for subitizing, and opportunities to apply various strategies to subitize effectively, the Butterflies engaged in multiple and various subitizing  experiences cooperatively and collaboratively with their "math learning partner", utilizing the Subitising Flash Cards app on our iPads.
