Counting involves saying distinct number words in order and assigning one word to one element in a collection. Accurate Counting is a fundamental skill for number understanding and growth in early math performance.
Procedural counting is the ability to correctly sequence numbers orally. Conceptual Counting refers to children’s understanding of counting procedures and the one-to-one correspondence for each count word to one element in a group.
CRA is a sequential instructional approach during which students move from working with concrete materials to creating representational drawings to using abstract symbols.
Students activate more cognitive processes by exploring and representing their understandings in visual form.
Continual use of foundational skills with different problems reinforces a conceptual understanding of math skills.
In explicit number naming, the structure of the number name labels the number in Place Value order and clearly states the quantity.
Thinking of and about patterns encourages learners to look for and understand the rules and relationships that are critical components of mathematical reasoning.
Free collaborative play supports learner interests and promotes the development of more complex social interactions.
Adding motions to complement learning activates more cognitive processes for recall and understanding.
With this interactive technique, teachers help students use their own language for constructing knowledge by active listening and questioning.
Teaching students through guided play encourages them to take an active role in their learning and supports the development of a broad array of cognitive skills.
Math centers with math games, manipulatives, and activities support learner interests and promote the development of more complex math skills and social interactions.
Math games use numbers and Spatial Skills, allowing students to practice many math skills in a fun, applied context.
Rhyming, alliteration, and other sound devices reinforce math skills development by activating the mental processes that promote memory.
A math trail provides students with the opportunity to discover and tackle math concepts outside the classroom and in their communities.
Providing physical representations of numbers and math concepts helps activate mental processes.
Easy access to seeing the relationships between numbers promotes number sense as students see these connections repeatedly.
Visual representations help students understand what a number represents as well as recognize relationships between numbers.
A parent evening meeting about how to support numeracy at home with one follow-up meeting with each family has shown strong results for students' math development.
When teachers connect math to the real world, students can see how relevant and applicable math is in their daily lives.
Math games and manipulatives for vision differences support math development for learners with visual needs.
Children's literature can be a welcoming way to help students learn math vocabulary and concepts.
Having students verbally repeat information such as instructions ensures they have heard and supports remembering.
