Have you been struggling to determine why your students are unable to grasp basic numeracy concepts? This session will present Cross-Number puzzles based on extensive Math Recovery research and theory. As students work through the Cross-Number puzzles, you will be able to easily identify the concepts. Not only does it then become clear why they are “not getting it,” but more importantly, what needs to be done so they can move forward.
Why is this session relevant to teachers?
Why this is an important session: It explains the increasingly popular Math Recovery approach to numeracy intervention and provides a unique and powerful tool for teachers to use with students struggling in math.
What will be the learning: Developmental levels students go through when learning number concepts and number operations, outcomes at each of these levels, and how to identify the missed outcomes.
Focus: Numeracy concepts.
Takeaway: Familiarity with numeracy development and also have a means to easily identify missed outcomes and move students forward.
Alberta Curriculum Alignment: Grades K-5
