Learning Center Activities For Number Sense

These interesting and challenging hands-on activities for learning centers help reinforce number sense concepts and skills and allow for opportunities to extend and enrich students' general math knowledge and understanding.

Develop young children's number sense with these lively activities that teach counting, subitizing, growing patterns, early addition and subtraction, and more.

Engage students and reinforce essential counting skills with Using Ten Frames to Teach Number Sense for grades K–1. This 64-page full-color reproducible book includes a how-to for using ten frames, as well as lessons and activities for centers and whole groups. Each of the 30 ten-frame mats includes the number 5, 10, or 20 and features whimsical characters and matching counters that enchant learners.

Exciting, hands-on activities to learn about the numbers 1 to 100...plus great ideas for counting up to the 100th day of school celebration! Includes manipulatives, games, poems, literature-based activities, and so much more. For use with Grades PreK-2.

This book features grade-level appropriate activities for use with any hundred number board. Use these hands-on activities to help students develop an understanding of everything from counting and number patterns to place value and problem solving. It includes games for pairs and small groups, and is perfect for learning centers.

Just as athletes stretch their muscles before every game and musicians play scales to keep their technique in tune, mathematical thinkers and problem solvers can benefit from daily warm-up exercises. Jessica Shumway has developed a series of routines designed to help young students internalize and deepen their facility with numbers. The daily use of these quick five-, ten-, or fifteen-minute experiences at the beginning of math class will help build students' number sense. Students with strong number sense understand numbers, ways to represent numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems. They make reasonable estimates, compute fluently, use reasoning strategies (e.g., relate operations, such as addition and subtraction, to each other), and use visual models based on their number sense to solve problems. Students who never develop strong number sense will struggle with nearly all mathematical strands, from measurement and geometry to data and equations. In Number Sense Routines, Jessica shows that number sense can be taught to all students. Dozens of classroom examples -- including conversations among students engaging in number sense routines -- illustrate how the routines work, how children's number sense develops, and how to implement responsive routines. Additionally, teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the underlying math -- the big ideas, skills, and strategies children learn as they develop numerical literacy.

Fun learning activities using different kinds of number lines help children visualize number relationships, compose and decompose numbers, and more.

Easily implement grade appropriate lessons suitable for Grade 2 classrooms. Based on current research, these easy-to-use lessons are based on a variety of strategies to differentiate your instruction. Activities are included to allow access to all learners.
