When you talk with students about their number sense and computational skills, you`re bound to uncover some surprising gaps in their understanding. Knowing how to identify and bridge those gaps is essential for helping students at all levels advance as mathematical thinkers.
The modules for grades 1 and 2 are organized into three sections: Counting, Number Sense, and Numeration; Meaning of Addition and Subtraction and Basic Facts; and Building Computational Fluency. Each module begins with identification of its focus, challenges, and misconceptions, and features adaptable strategies and activities to implement with students.
