Help kindergartners at risk for math difficulties with these explicit, evidence-based interventions. Used on their own or as a follow-up to the Number Sense Screener™ (NSS™) , the interventions in this user-friendly guide are a fun, simple, and highly effective way to boost key math skills such as oral counting, number recognition, and numeral writing. Teachers will get 24 scripted lessons, perfect for helping small groups of struggling students in just 30 minutes each. Proven in studies to improve young children's number sense, these engaging lessons help resolve early math struggles before first grade—and start students on the path to long-term success in elementary school and beyond.


Why Use Number Sense Interventions?
  • Aligned with Common Core State Standards-includes a chart of learning goals that shows exactly how the interventions align with CCSS
  • Research-based and validated
  • Great for Tier 2 Response to Intervention
  • Carefully scripted-easy to pick up and start using right away
  • Lessons build on each other, so children develop a strong foundation of critical math skills
  • Uses inexpensive materials many teachers already have in the classroom
  • Fun lessons encourage children's engagement and development of attention skills
  • Flexible-easy to move at a slower or faster pace depending on student needs

INCLUDES: 24 engaging lessons with explicit teacher scripts and instructions, plus photocopiable materials: 7 sets of flashcards, 12 charts that illustrate key math concepts, and a student activity sheet for each lesson.

Ben Clarke, Research Associate, Center on Teaching and Learning, University of Oregon - August 13, 2013
“Provides a solid foundation for developing a rich understanding of mathematics. Rigorous research conducted on Number Sense Interventions shows the promise of the program for positively impacting student mathematics achievement.”
Nancy Krasa, co-author, Number Sense and Number Nonsense: Understanding the Challenges of Learning Math - August 5, 2013
“A systematic, digit-by-digit introduction to numbers—which, once mastered, should provide a firm foundation for all elementary mathematics.”
Daniel Berch, University of Virginia - August 5, 2013
“A first-rate, comprehensive, and evidence-based suite of number sense interventions that—if implemented as per the guidelines—will surely yield noticeable improvements in young children’s knowledge of and proficiency with numbers, number relations, and number operations.”
David Allsopp, Professor, Department of Special Education, University of South Florida - August 5, 2013
“This is the kind of intervention support that teachers need to effectively address the needs of students with mathematics learning difficulties. It is a welcome addition to educators providing intensive multi-tiered mathematics instruction.”
Sally Moomaw, Assistant Professor, Early Childhood Education, University of Cincinnati - July 18, 2013
“Clear and are easy to administer, even for a novice teacher. The intervention strategies are well-grounded in research and practice, and the activities are engaging.”
David Geary, University of Missouri - July 15, 2013
“[This] systematic, theory-based, and empirically tested program will help to improve the quantitative competencies of young children who would otherwise be disadvantaged throughout their schooling.”
Jane Wilburne, Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, Penn State Harrisburg - July 15, 2013
“An absolute MUST resource book . . . A wonderful collection of 24 evidence-based interventions to build children’s competencies with numbers.”
