Building Number Sense Through The Common Core

This essential resource provides teaching strategies, adaptations, and sample math problems to build number sense skills such as quantity and cardinality, fact fluency, and more. Build a lasting foundation for math proficiency right from the start The "math" is on the wall: unless we can instill in our youngest mathematicians a solid understanding of number sense, they have little hope of mastering the more rigorous fractions and algebra that lie ahead. A key piece is identifying precisely where K-3 students are likely to struggle, then intervening with smart, targeted instruction. That′s where Witzel and Riccomini′s Building Number Sense Through the Common Core fits in. Grounded in research-supported instruction with aligned assessments to ensure comprehension, this essential resource provides: Teaching strategies that build number sense skills, including quantity and cardinality, numeral/number recognition, fact fluency, math language, and more Adaptations for students with specific needs, including English learners and students with disabilities, based on an RTI approach Guidance on measuring number sense through assessments and preparing students for standardized testing User-friendly charts, tables, and sample math problems for planning curriculum and lessons Discover strategies that enable your students to develop a fundamental sense for numbers and create a lasting foundation for math proficiency! "The authors describe how each common standard should be taught, which makes this a quick and immensely useful resource. I′ve already begun using the strategies with my fellow teachers." —Deborah Gordon, Third-Grade Teacher Madison School District, Phoenix, AZ "This is an evidence based, accessible manual on how, why, and what to teach.
