A bright and engaging set of 8 Subitising Anchor Charts designed for children working within Early Level Curriculum for Excellence, particularly Primary 1.
This colourful, child-friendly resource helps learners develop strong early number sense by learning to recognise quantities without counting one by one. Pupils explore small groups, dot patterns, ten frames, dice, dominoes and finger patterns before beginning to see how numbers can be made from smaller parts.
Each poster uses clear language, colourful visual examples and familiar representations to help children become quicker and more confident at recognising quantities.
