What is Number Sense & Why is it Important?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We have all of these standards being thrown at us, that we need to be able to teach in a year, but really it's not about focusing on that standard.

If you focus on developing sense for your students, all of these standards become so much easier to do.

Let's look at a really quick example. Let's say I'm working on the standard in 2nd grade about developing fluency with their facts, like 9 plus 7. I can just have kids memorize 9 plus 7, no big deal.

But, if we spend time developing relationships....AND we have visuals to go along with 9 plus 7,some kids are going to see that, "wow, 9 plus 7 is really like having 10 plus 6, I can take one, and give it, and fill the 10 frame." Imagine the amounts in a ten frame, "I can fill the 10 frame, and then I just have 6 left over." That's awesome!

It seems like that takes a lot of time, it would be faster if they just memorized it. But the power of building Number Sense is that it lasts beyond just like facts like this.

Let's say we move into problems where we have to add and subtract and become fluent within a thousand. Like when doing 299+357....yes, I could stack it and do the traditional algorithm....but that problem would be so much nicer if I could just move one over, and create 300, and then all I've got is 300 + 356!!

Having Number Sense really isn't even just for whole numbers. As kids start to move into decimals, doing a problem like 3.99 + 0.17 becomes so much nicer, right? Think about how much nicer that problem can be when we think, "Ah! I get that benchmark of the whole number, the benchmark of 4, I just gotta bring 0.01 over. Now I have 4, and 0.16!"

And on into the dreaded fractions...if I have 3 1/2 plus 5 3/4, how can I make one of those nicer? How could I make it friendlier?

Being able to build these relationships for kids isn't about teaching the strategies, it's about developing relationships that kids can see and notice and use on all types of problems.

So, those four Number Sense relationships are the real key ones that I want you to be developing.

Get the Spatial Relationships going in your classroom, get One and Two More & Less {which moves into 10 more and less, 100 more and less}.Then the Benchmarks of 5 and 10 {when you're doing fractions and decimals, those benchmarks become the whole numbers and the halves}. All the while you are building Part-Part-Whole; being able to break numbers apart, and know when to break them apart, is an essential piece of that.

If we can develop those things for our kids, it makes all of the other standards so much easier.

I know it's hard to slow down and spend some time focusing on Number Sense, but if you do, you could actually speed up through a whole lot more of the standards, and your curriculum, because kids will get it a whole lot faster.

Instead of having to spend three or four days on a lesson, because it's not clicking with the kids...slow down and take the time to develop their Number Sense.

Then the standards that we need to be addressing this year become a whole lot easier.

This was a very quick overview, but I have a free eBook that you can download that goes a little bit more into detail about those 4 Number Sense relationships, and it also has an assessment. Click the image below to request the eBook.
