Subitising/subitizing or recognising numbers in groups is very important in early mathematics. Subitising means to quickly identify numbers and is an important part of early math education. The ability to visualise and understand numbers and numeracy will lead to operational fluency, the ability to add and subtract mentally, to see relationships between numbers, and the ability to see patterns. 

Subitising comes from the Latin word meaning suddenly.
