In this course your learner will learn and build upon their number sense in order to strengthen their building blocks to mathematics. Each week we will focus on a topic through class discussion, teacher modeling, and student practice. This is part 1 of 6 courses that will cover six important mathematical concepts and principals for elementary students. They may be taken independently from one another. Week 1: Equivalents Students will learn that there are numerous ways to show and represent a number. They will use numerical numbers, words, tally marks, pictures, dice, and coins. Week 2: More & Less Students will compare numbers and identify which are more or less. They will use numerical numbers, pictures, a number grid, and a number line to represent these comparisons. Students will be introduced to and use greater than, less than, and equal symbols. Week 3: Estimation Students will learn how to estimate a numeric value in relation to previous information. They will practiced estimating through pictures and models. Students will discuss the importance of estimating and real life uses. Week 4: Place Value Students will learn the value of ones, tens, and hundreds in a number. They will learn about digits and use base ten blocks to practice this skill.
