Description
Build a lasting foundation for math proficiency right from the start
The "math" is on the wall: unless our youngest mathematicians have a solid understanding of number sense, they have little hope of mastering the higher math that lies ahead. This essential resource helps you identify where K-3 students are likely to struggle, and then intervene with smart, targeted instruction. The authors provide:
- Teaching strategies that build number sense skills, including quantity and cardinality, fact fluency, and more
- Adaptations for students with specific needs, based on an RTI approach
- Guidance on measuring number sense through assessments
- User-friendly charts, tables, and sample math problems
