Number Sense - Part 2

Click here to go to this website 

This site has some amazing support for developing number sense as well as other ares in mathematics

These games have come form this site...

Games can be very useful for reinforcing and developing ideas and procedures previously introduced to children. Although a suggested age group is given for each of the following games, it is the children's level of experience that should determine the suitability of the game. Several demonstration games should be played, until the children become comfortable with the rules and procedures of the games.

Deal and Copy (4-5 years) 3-4 players

Materials: 15 dot cards with a variety of dot patterns representing the numbers from one to five and a plentiful supply of counters or buttons.

Rules: One child deals out one card face up to each other player. Each child then uses the counters to replicate the arrangement of dots on his/her card and says the number aloud. The dealer checks each result, then deals out a new card to each player, placing it on top of the previous card. The children then rearrange their counters to match the new card. This continues until all the cards have been used.

Variations/Extensions

1. Each child can predict aloud whether the new card has more, less or the same number of dots as the previous card. The prediction is checked by the dealer, by observing whether counters need to be taken away or added.
2. Increase the number of dots on the cards.

Memory Match (5-7 years) 2 players

Materials: 12 dot cards, consisting of six pairs of cards showing two different arrangements of a particular number of dots, from 1 to 6 dots. (For example, a pair for 5 might be Card A and Card B from the set above).

Rules: Spread all the cards out face down. The first player turns over any two cards. If they are a pair (i.e. have the same number of dots), the player removes the cards and scores a point. If they are not a pair, both cards are turned back down in their places. The second player then turns over two cards and so on. When all the cards have been matched, the player with more pairs wins.

Variations/Extensions

1. Increase the number of pairs of cards used.
2. Use a greater number of dots on the cards.
3. Pair a dot card with a numeral card.

What's the Difference? (7-8 years) 2-4 players

Materials: A pack of 20 to 30 dot cards (1 to 10 dots in dice and regular patterns), counters.

Rules: Spread out 10 cards face down and place the rest of the cards in a pile face down. The first player turns over the top pile card and places beside the pile. He/she then turns over one of the spread cards. The player works out the difference between the number of dots on each card, and takes that number of counters. (E.g. If one card showed 3 dots and the other 8, the player would take 5 counters.) The spread card is turned face down again in its place and the next player turns the top pile card and so on. Play continues until all the pile cards have been used. The winner is the player with the most counters; therefore the strategy is to remember the value of the spread cards so the one that gives the maximum difference can be chosen.

Variations/Extensions

1. Try to turn the spread cards that give the minimum difference, so the winner is the player with the fewest counters.
2. Roll a die instead of using pile cards. Start with a set number of counters (say 20), so that when all the counters have been claimed the game ends.
3. Use dot cards with random arrangements of dots.

Number Sense - Part 1

What Is Number Sense?

Number sense is about a student’s ability to work and use numbers.

To know what numbers mean, understands what their relationship is to one another, perform mental maths, understand symbolic representations and use numbers in real world situations.  

It is about

what numbers mean

number relationships

number size or magnitude

ability to carry out operations involving numbers 

knowing numbers and quantities

Why is it important?

Number sense is important because it encourages students to think flexibly and promotes confidence with numbers.

 If students lack number sense they have trouble developing the foundation needed for even simple maths. 

• We need to model different methods for computing
  
  

• We need to ask students regularly to calculate mentally
  
  

• Have many class discussions about strategies for computing
  
  

• Make estimations everyday
  
  

• Question students about how they reason numerically
  
  

• Pose numerical problems that have more than one possible answer

Number Sense 0-20

Number Sense 0-20 for the Australian and the USA Curriculum

We have updated this pack to cater for our followers in both markets. 

      

This pack is great for learning about numbers and collections from 0-20.

 It assists with counting and identifying numerals.

Australian Curriculum (ACMNA0001) Establish understanding of the language and processes of counting by naming numbers in sequences, initially to and from 20, moving from any starting point

USA Curriculum K.CC.A.3 Write numbers from 0-20

There are 81 pages

There are photos that show some tasks to help embed counting sequences

Fill in the missing numbers tasks 

One set of worksheets are in VIC, WA, NT font where students can record what they know about numbers 0-20

The second set of worksheets are in QLD font 

The third set of worksheets are for our USA followers 

Number Sense 0-10

We hope everyone in Australia has had a safe summer, and wherever you are, we hope you were out of harm's way and the fires. Our firefighters have done an amazing job.

Kerry and I have had a great break with our respective families and have both been out of the country seeing other parts of the world and recharging our batteries. 

As we start back at school we hope you have taken advantage of our school bundles - check out our previous posts.....

Here is a new product for our Foundation teachers using the Australian Curriculum.

Number Sense 0-10

for Foundation Level

31 pages which includes a weekly planner and an assessment recording sheet

This is a vital skill set for students and without it there will be no place value understanding.

This unit assists students

To understand that each object must be counted only once

Know that the arrangement of objects does not matter

To know that the last number counted answers the ‘how many’ question

Each day use the ten frame cards. Use as flash cards and ask how many children there are on each card. If the card is 7 – ask how did you know that? I can see 5+2 or 2+5. Record the strategies they use before each lesson this week. Cards can be used to sequence and discuss which is more or less?

Monday - Use the ‘Ten Frames – Make to 10’ sheet. With a partner and take turns and check each other’s work. For extension record the equation.

Tuesday – Thinkboard task – roll a 10 sided dice to complete the task. There is an example to share and you can model one before the students complete their own.  Share in small groups. Roving to check that students are completing the task correctly

Wednesday - Interactive Notebook task - view the example and model the task for the class. Students roll a 10 sided dice and that is the number they use. Repeat for the second flap.

Thursday - Draw the collection under the flap. Use the cards with numerals, word names and random collection cards. These cards will help to complete the interactive Notebook page. Copy the cards onto coloured paper to make different sets. 

Friday - Copy the ‘Roll and Colour’ Sheet. While students are working through this it is an opportunity to work with small groups to complete the ‘Student Progress Record’ Sheet.

Number Sense

This pack helps your students to come to terms with numbers between 0 and 20.

Children need to know how to write the numeral, see the collection and know what comes before and after. 

They need to see each number on a number line, on a ten frame as well as have practise writing it. 

This pack will assist you to do this.
