Multiplication Subitizing Cards: An Upgrade to Building Fluency

3-5, 6-8, Estimation, Fact Fluency, Games, Making Math Accessible, Math Tools, Number Sense, Strategy Development

Four years ago, I shared Subitizing to Foster Multiplicative Thinking. Since then, I’ve really enjoyed hearing back from folks like you about how the cards are supporting your work.   Along the way, I’ve received “a few” emails asking about for...
