New from your Heartland AEA Math Consultants: The Math Diagnostic Flowchart App is ready to use!
When the slide-deck is in slideshow mode, you can interact with the slide-deck to make decisions on next steps for acquiring data and matching instruction to support struggling learners.
You may access the app here.
Your HAEA Mathematics Consultants are ready to partner with you and your district on how the Math Diagnostic Flowchart can be utilized in your MTSS.
Now Available at Creative Services: Subitizing Flip Cards
Subitizing cards are flashcards with groups of objects on them. Teachers quickly and briefly show the cards in front of the class. Students respond with the number of objects they saw. For numbers to 5, students learn to instantly recognize the quantity (perceptual subitizing.)
With numbers larger than 5, students typically see two subgroups of objects. Then they quickly combine the two subgroups to recognize the total number. For instance, when seeing 6 dots on a die, children might see two rows of 3, and recognize that 3 and 3 is 6. (Or they may see the first 3, then count up the remaining dots.) Subitizing cards with larger quantities help students learn conceptual subitizing, which is clearly connected to adding and subtracting.
Dot patterns are frequently used on subitizing cards. But it is also common to show ten-frames (or five-frames.) Sometimes other objects are also used (such as tally marks, fingers, or groups of items like pumpkins.)
You can purchase directly from Creative Services.
