Subitizing is the ability to instantly recognize the number of objects in a small group without counting them.

Subitizing allows for immediate recognition of quantity, while counting involves a sequential process of enumerating each object.

Most people can subitize up to 4 or 5 objects easily.

Seeing 3 apples on a table and knowing there are 3 without counting them.

It helps children develop number sense and understand quantities without relying on counting.

Showing a group of dots on a card for a few seconds and asking how many dots were there.

Perceptual subitizing is recognizing small quantities (1-3) at a glance.

Conceptual subitizing involves recognizing larger quantities (4 or more) by grouping them into smaller sets.

Parents can use everyday objects like toys or snacks to create small groups for children to recognize.

Visual memory helps in recalling the arrangement and quantity of objects quickly.
