How Non-symbolic Number connects to...
We are all born with an intuitive sense of quantity. This Non-symbolic Number understanding helps students explore the concept of number by estimating, comparing, and combining sets of visuals, such as dots. Typically, students understand Non-symbolic Number before they develop an understanding of what number words and numbers themselves (Symbolic Number) represent.
