Número No Simbólico

Todos nacemos con un sentido intuitivo de cantidad, antes de poder contar o usar símbolos para representarla. Esta comprensión del Número No Simbólico, o sentido numérico, ayuda a los estudiantes a explorar el concepto de número al estimar, comparar y combinar conjuntos de elementos visuales, como puntos.

Ideas Principales

Típicamente, los estudiantes comprenden el Número No Simbólico antes de desarrollar una comprensión de lo que representan las palabras y los números en sí mismos (Número Simbólico), sirviendo como una base para entender y trabajar con otros conceptos matemáticos. Los estudiantes con el trastorno del aprendizaje discalculia pueden tener dificultades en tareas que involucran el Número No Simbólico, o pueden desarrollar esta comprensión más lentamente que sus compañeros.
