Developing Number Sense using ten frames: Part 1

UPDATE: I have moved all my courses to Teachable. You can find them here: https://math-makes-sense.teachable.com/
 
This course helps kids build a solid Math foundation through hands-on, interactive, deep thinking activities. It goes from basic counting up through double-digit addition and subtraction. This course would be best for 4-6 year olds, or older students who are still struggling to understand addition and subtraction.
 
This course helps kids develop number sense through ten frames and then extends that sense of how numbers work to understand addition and subtraction. The adding and subtracting process turns out to be a simple extension of understanding what numbers "look like" in ten frames, and kids can learn to confidently and quickly add and subtract numbers up through 100 without ever relying on complex algorithms or memorizing math facts! 
 
The hands-on manipulatives (ten frames) create a framework for kids to do mental math, and the focus on critical thinking skills empower them to explain their thought process clearly as they work through larger Math problems, perhaps even teaching younger siblings or friends as they play the included games or do the puzzles or activities together!
 
The course is built around video lessons with a 175+ page file of printable games, activities, worksheets, templates, and practice pages, as well as built-in links to online, self-grading quizzes. A pacing guide is also included to get students through the course in 10-20 minute increments over the course of 3-4 months (the pace depends on the age and ability of the child) with built-in daily review. 
 
The course focuses on mastery and deep understanding of how numbers work to lay a strong foundation for all future Math skills - as well as helps kids enjoy learning Math and feel confident in themselves as learners! 
 
It is hands-on for students but as hands-free for parents as possible :). All lessons are taught through video, all skills are clearly laid out in a skills checklist that accompanies the course and assessed through frequent quizzes, and a wide variety of interactive activities help kids learn concepts in a solid way.
 
Since this course focuses in on the fundamental core of Mathematics (number sense, composing and decomposing numbers, addition and subtraction, critical thinking skills used to solve problems), it could be used alongside any Math curriculum to deepen a child's confidence in Math and provide plenty of fun, hands-on activities to make Math enjoyable :).  
 
 
The entire course (which is a separate course from this one - it is still in production but should be complete by September) will go up through multiplication and division, using the same number sense strategies developed in the beginning of this course. (There will also be a "Part 2" option coming in September which will basically be the later part of the the complete course and will focus on multiplication and division as well as triple digit addition and subtraction.)  (If you would like to be added to the waitlist to get early discounts on those as soon as they are complete, just send an email to sandra@realworldlearners.com and I'll keep you in the loop!)

You can see a more thorough description of the complete course here, which includes everything in this course. (Note: The complete course is currently in progress and the "Part 2" course should be available by September, 2019.)

Developing Number Sense Using Ten Frames: Part 2

UPDATE: I have moved all my courses to Teachable. You can find them here: https://math-makes-sense.teachable.com/

 

This course is in progress with an estimated completion date of October 2019.

This course will cover all of the content from Developing Number Sense: Part 1 at a faster pace and also cover multiplication and division. All the ten frame strategies taught in course 1 will apply, but for simplicity and speed since we will be working with larger numbers, an abacus will be used as one of the main hands-on learning tools.

This course is best for older kids (ages 7+) who can speed through the foundation lessons and are ready to develop a deep understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division through hands-on learning, activities, games, video tutorials, quizzes, and more!

(The complete course covers all content from part 1 and part 2.)

This course is on pre-sale now for 50% off retail price. When it gets closer to completion, the price will increase.

You can read more about this series of courses here.

You can purchase this course now at the pre-sale price, or send an email to sandra@realworldlearners.com if you'd rather be added to the waitlist to be the first to hear when this course is released.
