Student Learning
Students who have a strong understanding of number sense can represent quantities using diagrams and materials explaining how they show the quantity of numbers. These students also understand the base ten relationships in the number system and can compare whole numbers with decimal numbers considering the value of the numbers.
Understanding fractions and explaining the quantity relationship between the denominator of a fraction and the size of the fractional parts also shows a strong understanding of number sense.
With various other reference points, we can determine a child’s overall understanding of number sense and bridge the gap to any areas they may be struggling. With Dropkick Math, we make learning fun as we know that creativity is at the core of what mathematicians do.
