Begin large group with a fun activity to practice subitizing. Place dot stickers on paper plates, and show them briefly to the children for them to identify. Arrange up to five dots randomly to teach perceptual subitizing or place 10-12 dots in a pattern similar to dice or dominoes to teach conceptual subitizing.
