Foundation Level precedes this book and Levels 2 & 3 follow on from this and are also available for purchase.Each module can be used as a lesson or can be split over several lessons depending on the time you have available and the speed the student works through the number sense strategies.Lesson components:Thinking problems - these are designed to be open ended and challenge the student to think mathematically.Subitizing - this is the skills of recognising a set of objects without counting and is a key skill which is not always established in students with difficulties in maths.Counting patterns and objects - students need to develop a sense of the number line.Number sense - each session there is a different focus working through the 8 areas of number sense. These are explained and modelled before applying the number sense concept to problems.Games - many students with math difficulties can get anxious about maths and practicing the skills through games is a less threatening way to gain the repetition they need. The games have been chosen to specifically practice the skill in focus and also allow for reasoning skills.Word problems - students need to apply their knowledge in problems. In the Foundation Level only addition: part part whole and joining are taught. For subtraction only separate result unknown is taught,Number problems - each session there are number problems related to the focus area and spaced retrieval of focus areas is included.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/64/558/224/0645582247_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "37.99", "online_price" : "37.99", "our_price" : "37.99", "club_price" : "37.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
