Teach Kids Math Using The Model Method For Math From Singapore Number Sense: Rethinking Arithmetic Instruction for Students with Mathematical Disabilities By: Russell Gersten and David J. Chard (2001) Abstract We describe the concept of number sense, an analog as important to mathematics learning as phonemic awareness has been to the reading research field. Understanding the concept of number sense and relevant research from cognitive science can help the research community pull together fragmented pieces of earlier knowledge to yield a much richer, more subtle, and more effective means of improving instructional practice. More than three decades have passed since Kirk and Bateman (1962) proposed that auditory processing was one of the psycholinguistic process deficits underlying specific learning disabilities. We believe that there may be an analog as important to mathematics learning as phonemic awareness has been to the development of reading. In our approach, we rely on Cobb's (1995) conceptualization of constructivism as a joint approach. In this article, we draw analogies between phonological awareness and number sense.

So, I obliged. Many thanks are owed to Imagine Our Life for the templates to create the wall map. 1) Print the patterns in mirror image (reverse) on cardstock 2) Using spray adhesive, adhere 2 sheets of craft felt together. 3) Using Spray Adhesive, glue the patterns onto their appropriate color 4) Allow to dry then cut out 5) Using Spray Adhesive, spray the brown continents and apply to the globe We already had tons of Safari Toobs toys on hand. Hard to believe she is not even in Kindergarten yet and is already telling time to the 5 minute increments. “Mommy, why is my birthday taking so long?” “Mommy, how much is a dollar?” For the fun of it, I went ahead and made enough bead bars to create the Square of Pythagoras.
