Abstract

Subitizing is thought to be an important precursor to mathematical development in young children. However, evidence for this relationship is sparse. This study examined the relationship between subitizing range and mathematical performance in kindergarten-aged children. The large sample included typically-developing children from urban backgrounds. Findings indicated a significant link between subitizing ability and mathematical skills.
