“Young children reinvent arithmetic. Spontaneously or by imitating their peers, they imagine new strategies for calculation. They also learn to select the best strategy for each problem. The majority of their strategies are based on counting, with or without words, with or without fingers. Children often discover them by themselves, even before they are taught to calculate.”
― Stanislas Dehaene, The Number Sense: How the Mind Creates Mathematics

Number Sense Teachers
Play. Learn. Grow.
Our Purpose
Children follow natural developmental progressions (or trajectories) in learning concepts related to number sense. This course teaches the progressions and helps educators learn to effectively sequence activities, build mathematically enriched learning environments, and assess using a variety of strategies.
