Building Number Sense Skills for Elementary Learners

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.
