Every number that emerges during math class, in every lesson, is an opportunity to support the development of number sense.
Why take this course module?
Start this module to learn more about building number sense so that:
- Students understand the relationship between and among numbers and operations, decompose and compose numbers with ease, and use number sense to monitor reasonableness of solutions and estimate answers. In doing so, they will be able to connect the numbers on the page with the concepts they understand and develop procedural fluency.
- Teachers relentlessly build and reinforce students’ number sense by integrating key activities (e.g. mental math, calendar math, number blocks) that develop their comfort with the relative size of numbers, the value of numbers, the sequence of numbers, the base 10 system, and place value.
