Let’s Think…
- Who loves reading?
- Who loves math?
- Who really understands and can make
sense of what they read?
- Who really understands and can make
sense of math?

I can read this…
Once upon a time a tawndy rapsig named Gub found a tix of pertollic asquees. So chortlich was he with his discovery that he murtled a handful to show Kon, a cagwitzpat. “Pagoo!” cried Kon. “With these you could treeple a frange!”. “No,” smiled Gub, “I think I’ll just paible a catwicine.”

8 Many students appear to know more than they actually do because they are able to give the correct response or perform a calculation correctly by relying
- n rules they do not understand (Thomas, 1996; Steinle & Stacey, 1998).
A project funded under the Australian Government’s Numeracy Research and Development Initiative and conducted by the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia
We must teach children to understand math!
In the ES we believe:
- all students can learn math and strive to make sense of
math.
- students are active learners who construct their own
understanding.
- math is most meaningful when it is authentic and
connected to the real world and everyday life.
- math understanding progresses from concrete, to
representational, to abstract.
- number sense is the foundation of math learning.

Guiding Question
- How does number sense develop?
10/12/2011 3‐5 Number Sense

What is Number Sense?
- "[Number sense] is an awareness and
understanding about what numbers are, their relationships, their magnitude, the relative effect of operating on numbers, including the use of mental mathematics and estimation“
10/12/2011 3‐5 Number Sense
12 Fennell and Landis’ (1994) cited Parrish,2010
What do we know?
Number Sense develops gradually
- Children must spend time:
- exploring numbers
- visualizing numbers in a variety of contexts
- Finding relationships between numbers (not
limited by traditional algorithms)

How does Number Sense Develop?

14 Step 15 Fact Families Multiplication and Division Step 14 Develop better multiplication strategies Step 13 Early fraction ideas with models Step 12 Early division ideas Step 11 Renaming three digit whole numbers Step 10 Skip Counting Step 9 Fact Families Step 8 Patterns in the Hundreds Charts Step 7 Compensation Step 6 Conservation of numbers Step 5 Counting on Step 4 Complements of Ten Step 3 Subitising Step 2 One to One Correspondence Step 1 Rote Counting
At School
We keep moving students up the number sense ladder:
- One to one correspondence
- Subitising
- Your turn to try
- Complements of ten

At School

At School
- Compensation
- When working with numbers you can take an amount from one
set and add it to another set and the TOTAL will not change.
10/12/2011 3‐5 Number Sense
17
To help children…
- Ask children to estimate*
- Always ask – is your answer reasonable? Does
it make sense?
- Discuss which number is biggest*
- Play games like guess my number using an
empty number line.

What is Place Value?
Understanding that:
- Sets of ten can be perceived as a single unit (unitizing:
research shows this develops toward the end of G1)
- The position of digits in numbers determine what they
represent

This is a place value chart.
What do we Know?
The ability to understand and to use place value is crucial to understanding mathematics.
- Children must spend time:
- Counting objects and placing them in groups of tens
- Connecting what has been done with concrete
manipulatives to visual representations and then to numbers
- putting numbers together and taking them apart in
a wide variety of ways
10/12/2011 3‐5 Number Sense
20 Australian Government’s Numeracy Research and Development Initiative and US Common Core Clarification documents
At School
- Helping children understand how objects can be
grouped by tens and counted
- Helping children understand that ten can be
thought of as one group of ten or ten individual items
- Emphasize how numbers can be broken apart
- Model for children how breaking numbers apart
can help them to compute

- 4 ten and 7 ones (40+7 = 47) *
- 3 tens and 17 ones (30+17 = 47)
- 2 tens and 27 ones (20+27 = 47)
- 1 ten and 37 ones (10+37 = 47)
- 47 ones (47 = 47)

10/12/2011 3‐5 Number Sense
27
325 = 300 + 20 + 5 325 is 3 “hundreds”, 2 “tens” and 5 “ones”.
To help children
Always refer to the digits in a number by what they represent
- 395
- The digit 3 represents 300 or 3 groups of a
hundred
- The digit 9 represents 90 or 9 groups of ten
- The digit 5 represents 5 or 5 ones

Guiding Question
- How does conceptual
understanding of calculation develop?
10/12/2011 3‐5 Number Sense
29
What is Conceptual Understanding?
- Literacy is the ability to apply and use
mathematical knowledge, skills and practices, in flexible and adaptive ways.
(Willoughby, 2000)
- Understanding is the key to remembering
what is learned and being able to use it
- flexibly. (Hiebert, in Lester & Charles, 2004)

To help children with computation
Ask your child questions
- How did you know that?
- Explain to me what you are doing.
- What were you thinking about when you did
that?
- Does that make sense?
- Can you teach me what you are doing?
- I’m confused… (and point out where – but
don’t say that is wrong – but see if your child can find his or her own mistakes)

Thank you
- You are invited to stay and ask questions.
- Feel free to write questions on a post‐it
and stick it to the charts in the back of the room
- I will read all of these and they will help us
as we plan forward for future parent workshops
