Study Notes
Major Concepts in Number Sense and Numeration
- Key concepts include counting, operational sense, quantity, relationships, and representation.
Counting Concepts
- Stable Order: Counting sequence is consistent (1, 2, 3, 4, 5,...), not random (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 5,...).
- Order Irrelevance: The starting point of counting does not affect the total count, regardless of which object is counted first.
- Conservation: The total count remains unchanged regardless of the spacing between objects.
- Abstraction: Quantities can be represented in various forms, such as identical objects, different objects, or abstract concepts like ideas.
- One-to-One Correspondence: Each object counted must receive a single count; tagging or moving objects aids this understanding.
- Cardinality: The last count reflects the total number of objects; children who recount do not fully understand this concept.
- Movement is Magnitude: Counting up involves increasing quantity (e.g., skip counting by tens increases by ten), while counting down decreases the quantity.
- Unitizing: In the base ten system, groups of ten are recognized once the number exceeds nine, indicated by a digit in the tens or hundreds place.
Instructional Strategies for Teaching Counting
- Grade 1: Create engaging counting experiences that help link numbers to their visual numeral representation.
- Grade 2: Emphasize understanding that numerals in the tens place represent multiples of ten (10, 20, 30,...).
- Grade 3: Continue building on abstract understanding and visual representation of numbers.
