Number Sense - Intro

This math unit starts with foundational number skills, such as identifying groups of ten and differentiating between tens and ones using base ten blocks. Students learn to visualize numbers and their components, which is crucial for understanding the decimal system. The unit progresses by introducing addition and subtraction on a number line, where students apply their understanding of numbers in visual and operational formats. Skills in identifying even and odd numbers further enhance their number sense. As the unit continues, students transition to converting word forms to numerical values, including the concept of powers of ten, reinforcing their comprehension of place value and numeral representation. The unit then delves into skip counting, where students practice patterns by counting upwards and downwards by single digits and tens. This sequence not only solidifies their understanding of number sequences but also builds a preliminary foundation for multiplication concepts.
