Teaching Subitising in Early Childhood Centres in Zambia

About this book

Teaching Subitising in Early Childhood Centres in Zambia by Agnes Mando Banda, PhD is an educational resource focused on subitising, the ability to recognise a small number of objects without counting them one by one. This foundational early-numeracy skill supports children's later understanding of number relationships, counting and arithmetic. By locating the discussion in Zambian early childhood centres, the book offers teachers and student educators material that is directly connected to local classroom contexts rather than relying only on general international examples. It is useful for early childhood practitioners, teacher-training institutions, parents and researchers interested in mathematics learning in the early years. The book can support lesson planning, classroom practice and professional development by helping educators understand why subitising matters and how it can be encouraged through age-appropriate activities. It is a practical addition to Zambia's growing body of locally produced early childhood education resources.
