Composing and Decomposing Numbers: This Pinterest has a number of ideas and if you are interested this other Pinterest has even more ideas. Try Under a Rock Activity with early learners.  Learn Zillion has a short video explaining this concept.

Numbers:
 The number line is underutilized as a mathematical model that could be instrumental in fostering number sense and operational proficiency among students. There has been a growing body of research to suggest the importance of the number line as a tool for helping children develop greater flexibility in mental arithmetic as they actively construct mathematical meaning, number sense, and understandings of number relationships.  Here is a blank and filled in hundred board that provides ideas on instruction and daily use.  Here are large Tally Marks that can be used during demonstration, games and instruction. Pinterest has a ton of ideas to share with educators.  Number of the Day (0-99) and a generic number sheet can be used to help students consider number relationships.


Number Talks: 
Number Talks is a ten-minute classroom routine included in this year’s Scope and Sequence. Kindergarten through fifth grade teachers will facilitate Number Talks with all students three days a week.
Number Talks are designed to support proficiency with grade level fluency standards. The goal of Number Talks is for students to compute accurately, efficiently, and flexibly. This includes fluency with single-digit combinations in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well as procedural fluency with two or multi digit numbers. Investigations Curriculum also Thinks about Classroom Discussion and children with special needs and in this article they give you practical advice. In addition to developing efficient computation strategies, Number Talks encourages students to make sense of mathematics, be able to communicate mathematically, and reason and prove solutions. We have guides for grade levels:  Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3-5. Resources are a must with number talks.  We have the large classroom dot images and the large classroom ten frame images.  

Story Word Problems:  Articles:Teaching Students Math Problem-Solving Through Graphic Representations This article explains the Graphic Representational Technique? Effective word problem-solving requires the learner “to create a representation of the problem that mediates solution” (Goldman, 1989, p. 45). A primary characteristic of a graphic representational strategy that distinguishes it from other approaches is the use of schematic diagrams that allow students to organize information in the problem to facilitate problem translation and solution. The external representation (e.g., diagrams) may serve to reduce a learner’s cognitive processing load and make available mental resources for engaging in problem analysis and solution.
