Just learnt about this from Rebecca the Maths lady who named checked you in her video. Never heard of this yet realise this is a HUGE reason my son is struggling with maths. It's great to have answers and people like you and Rebecca and other educators on this platform to refer to, it takes the struggle and frustration out of supporting children who are finding things difficult. It's a fight to get support for my boy so I'm doing everything I can at home.
Can I just say that I'm a preservice teacher and this seven-minute video helped link three weeks' worth of lecture content together? Thank you so much! I understood everything in isolation but this just put it into context!
Thank you so much Hannah- brilliant to hear. I've just uploaded another subitising video you may also find useful 'An Introduction to Teaching Subitising'
Thank you so much for this video! I am interested in the 14 free subitizing cards but the link in your video description doesn't work, and I went through your entire website and don't see anything similar anywhere. Are they still available? I'd love to try them out before purchasing more of your products. Thank you!!
I have just watched your video Karen on subitising. The other evening after playing a game of Mexican Train ( domino type game) I was completely incapable of recognising the number of pips on the dominoes and so everyone was waiting for my score ☹️ Could this be my childhood fear of maths which has plagued me and I am now 78 yrs old. Pretty smart but useless with numbers!!
Nope. Have to disagree. We use these two tools very differently (when we are aware of them both), Subitising is a natural skill from birth and counting is a human creation. Human beings had and used number sense long before we hand a counting system or digits and this was based upon subitising. Would love to show you what we're learning from the children if you'd like to know more.
The word doesn't have a Latin origin, as it never existed in Latin. It was coined in English from a Latin word. It is also not in my Oxford English Dictionary, and Google doesn't recognize it for voice texting. It's not in Etymonline. I think that the reason it's not in the etymology dictionary is because it's a coined term that is not in wide current use.
Hi Tracey, like many words, both ways of pronouncing 'subitising' are acceptable. Re. your 'subtraction' comment; is this something you're sharing or related to something specific I've said in the video? Thank you
@@karenwildingeymaths It's in relation to why people pronounce it sub-itise. It's not a derivative of subtraction but of the word subit. The origin of the word dictates that it should be pronounced s-oo-bit-ise.
@@traceyholt8223 Thank you Tracey. It's like the choice between 'Math/Maths' isn't it? The pronunciation doesn't have any bearing on what it fundamentally is and I recognise the origin of the word in my video. (I've not yet found anyone who thought it was related to subtraction so be reassured there). It's the meaning that's important. I live near Shrewsbury and it's pronounced by locals as 'Shroowsbury', 'Shrowsbury' and even 'Shoosbury'. All are completely acceptable. As I say in this training, I'd rather people focused upon what 'subitising' is (and isn't), as it's hugely misunderstood and overlooked currently, rather than how it's pronounced or spelled (or 'spelt').

Really interesting- completely new perspective for me. Thank you- I’ll be looking this up today.
Brilliant! Thank you!

Very well explained. Thank you
Very cool information, thank you !
Yes, I'm learning Italian, and subito can mean: now, immediately, suddenly or soon. It's not necessarily to do with arriving though.

Not sure subitising comes BEFORE counting.....i agree that it comes after as we subitise rather than count when we are confident

Hi Teslin. The word 'subitising' has its origin as 'subito' meaning immediately or suddenly in Latin.
Subitising is pronounced with a long u sound -/oo/. The word comes from the Latin subit(us) meaning sudden and has no relation to subtraction at all!
@@traceyholt8223 Thank you for your comment. I do talk about this in the video - have you watched it all Tracey?
Ok 👍
