Build a lasting foundation for math proficiency right from the start

The "math" is on the wall: unless we can instill in our youngest mathematicians a solid understanding of number sense, they have little hope of mastering the more rigorous fractions and algebra that lie ahead. A key piece is identifying precisely where K-3 students are likely to struggle, then intervening with smart, targeted instruction. That′s where Witzel and Riccomini′s Building Number Sense Through the Common Core fits in.

Grounded in research-supported instruction with aligned assessments to ensure comprehension, this essential resource provides: 

Discover strategies that enable your students to develop a fundamental sense for numbers and create a lasting foundation for math proficiency!

"The authors describe how each common standard should be taught, which makes this a quick and immensely useful resource. I′ve already begun using the strategies with my fellow teachers."
