About Games with Counters
These games, including our “How Many are Hiding?” game, help children practice identifying how many items are in a collection without needing to count each one separately—this is called subitizing. When counting ‘how many,’ children are also reciting number words in the correct order, using one-to-one correspondence, and practicing the cardinal principle—or knowing that the last word said when counting a set represents how many there are in all.
