Examining the pre-school aged children’s counting skills: A teaching experiment based on subitizing games
Résumé
The present study was designed to investigate changes in the counting abilities of 6-year-old children
through playing subitizing games. A constructivist teaching experiment was conducted with 63
preschool-aged children in Turkey, with a focus on five of them. The experiment consisted of 11
sessions held over two days each week, and the counting abilities of the five children were analyzed
retrospectively. The results indicated that subitizing games improved the counting and subitizing
skills of preschool children at various levels. These findings suggest that subitizing games should be
integrated into the classroom to facilitate early number development. Further research is needed to
gain a deeper understanding of how to use subitizing games to help children develop their numerical
understanding and counting skills.
