Number Sense Kickstart - Day 1

The Build Math Minds Podcast

Do you have students struggling with their number sense and fluency in elementary mathematics? You aren’t the only one! Over the last few years we’ve seen gaps in students’ understanding get bigger and bigger. So many elementary students are not fluent with math and the underlying issue is their lack of number sense. Textbooks often jump straight into having kids operate with numbers but they have no number sense to be able to understand why the procedures even work. That’s why we’ve created the 10-Day Number Sense Kickstart to help you kickstart your students’ number sense this year.

Over the next two weeks, Christina Tondevold will give you one tip each school day to build your students’ number sense and increase their fluency with mathematics. By the end of this Kickstart, you’ll have a roadmap to keep building it throughout this school year. Today’s episode is Day 1 of the Kickstart.
