Mathodology Roundtable - Number Sense
John SanGiovanni & Sarah Schaefer 

 

John SanGiovanni's session on number sense has us all rewriting the definition.
 
Three key ideas from the session:
 
Idea #1: Number Sense is not intuitive. Number sense is developed through exposure and opportunity. Routines are the perfect opportunity for small amounts of short, but intentional moments to develop number sense.
 
Idea #2: Number Sense doesn't just involve decomposing numbers, but also involves understanding magnitude, counting, comparing, estimation, and more.
 
Idea #3: Don't just make a number sense routine an activity. Don't just listen for the answer. Be sure to inquire. As John modeled asking, try "What's something you had to think about to find your solution?"
 
 
Be sure to review the recording and pause the screen to get any directions for the routines presented. We always love having John on our webinars. We walk away with so many tangible ideas!

Just curious, how would you solve the first one if a child has not started algebra as yet? That's the only method coming to mind. How else can I facilitate this?
