Making Numbers Make Sense in the Early Years
The speaker will offer strategies, including the use of manipulatives, to help students of all academic levels build number sense, including: addition/subtraction skills, patterning, and the comparison of values (1-20) in the early years. Participants will be actively engaged by making hands-on activities to utilize in their own class to meet the needs of struggling learners needing multi-sensory approaches. Participants will also have the opportunity to use visual models through the use of hands-on activities developmentally appropriate for Early Childhood learners to explore the concepts of numbers. Participants will create activities that follow Jerome Bruner’s theory of the learning process and decades of research through the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach.
