Peek-A-Dino
This game will teach your child how to see and understand numbers without counting and how something looks and feels by learning to sort.
The Peek a Dino game gives your child the opportunity to practice knowing how many objects there are in a group without having to count them. This ability is called subitizing.
Maybe this is a new math term to add to your math vocabulary and it’s simple to put into practice!
For adults, we often use self-talk to use this skill. It sounds like this: When at the grocery store, “I have 5 apples in my cart. I saw 3 apples and 2 apples, so I know I have 5 altogether.”
For your child, you can narrate what your child is doing and reinforce this skill. It sounds like this: “I noticed that when I asked you to grab your shoes, you knew to grab 2 shoes—one for each foot! You didn’t even have to count.”
Math is Everywhere!
