subitizing

Starting with the baseline, this flash

program leads you from one digit, two

digit, two digit in various bases, then

three digit (color) in many bases.

When determining a

2-digit subQuan, first

count or subitize the

containers then the

ones.

When determining a

Here we have 4 full

containers (segs) and

3 left over ones. This

is written as:

43 b7

Remember, this is not a

quantity.

SubQuan in the physical educational environment

Initial Results

By the end of all the first

sessions, 5 out of 9 children

could recognize and label 4-

digit subQuans accurately in

an immersive environment

(56%).

Follow-up Results

• Inconclusive: one child from each group noticeably grasped subQuanning.

• Most fluidity was found in Group 5: P-I-V.

• Physical environment found to be most difficult.

• Immersive environment found to be the most interesting.

• Virtual environment found to be the easiest.
