Our number system involves the digits 0 to 9 representing different values (units, 10s, 100s, etc.) based on the placement in a number. Students develop their understanding of the base-10 system as they explore number size and relations.
Base-10 knowledge is fundamental for early math skills like decomposing, which involves breaking numbers into parts, and can impact a student’s understanding of more complex math, like multi-digit Operations.
As students solve problems in a group, they learn new strategies and practice communicating their mathematical thinking.
CRA is a sequential instructional approach during which students move from working with concrete materials to creating representational drawings to using abstract symbols.
Continual use of foundational skills with different problems reinforces a conceptual understanding of math skills.
10 minutes in each math session devoted to building fluent retrieval of basic arithmetic facts sets the foundation for learning new concepts.
In explicit number naming, the structure of the number name labels the number in Place Value order and clearly states the quantity.
Dot cards build number sense and promote early math skills, particularly Spatial Skills and Non-symbolic Number knowledge.
With this interactive technique, teachers help students use their own language for constructing knowledge by active listening and questioning.
Math centers with math games, manipulatives, and activities support learner interests and promote the development of more complex math skills and social interactions.
Providing physical representations of numbers and math concepts helps activate mental processes.
Visual representations help students understand what a number represents as well as recognize relationships between numbers.
When teachers connect math to the real world, students can see how relevant and applicable math is in their daily lives.
Children's literature can be a welcoming way to help students learn math vocabulary and concepts.
