Numeracy Skills

Successful teachers recognize the connections between conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and real-world application when teaching children to make sense of numbers. They embed opportunities for children to concurrently develop numeracy skills in all math areas, including the contexts of counting, cardinality, and base ten concepts. For this assignment, select three state math standards for kindergarten related to number sense (counting and cardinality) for the selected grade level. USE GEORGIA MATH STANDARDS Using the “Number Sense Standards Table,” create one math activity for each standard that is developmentally appropriate for the selected grade level and that uses manipulatives. Each activity should provide: Real-world application for the math skill taught Manipulatives and other resources  Differentiation strategies to meet the individual needs of all students Formal and informal assessment strategies to ensure mastery of the standards Write a 250-500 word rationale for the hands-on learning activities you created and how each supports learning of the selected standards. Discuss how each activity, manipulative, and assessment is developmentally appropriate for the selected grade level. Support your matrix and rationale with 2-3 resources. While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
