What's the math in this game?
Playing dominoes gives children practice subitizing – quickly seeing how many of something without counting. Research suggests that children who are strong at subitizing tend to do better in math. For higher numbers, like 5, people typically see 2 and 3 and then, with practice, quickly know that that is 5. Giving children lots of practice with subitizing helps them develop a strong sense of numbers.
