MATH is measuring, sorting, building, noticing patterns, making comparisons, and describing the
environment, still counting and knowing the names of shapes.
NUMERACY is the ability to recognize and apply math concepts in all areas of life.
CARDINALITY- is using the final number in a sequence when counting a group of things as the
absolute number of those group of things.
MEANINGFUL COUNTING is developing learning around ordering and sequencing numerically.
COUNTING SKILLS
1. Sequence Errors
2. Coordination Errors
3. Skimming
4. No Cardinal Rule
MATH MANIPULATIVES are objects, charts, and activities that engage learners while helping them
develop their math skills.
- common manipulatives are blocks of all kinds, whiteboards, and interesting online materials
1. Dominoes
2. Pattern blocks
4. Cuisenaire rods
8. Bear counters
10. Geoboards
● the relationship between numbers, such as how 20 and 140 are related
● how numbers can be composed and decomposed (put together and taken apart)
● how the basic +, -, x, and ÷ operations work and when to use each one

ADDITION means summing up two or more numbers or values to get another number.
SUBTRACTION means reducing a value from another value to get the required value.
1. Addition
2. Subtraction
3. Multiplication
4. Division
RULES
1. Commutative property- applicable only for two arithmetic operations (addition & multiplication)
2. Associative property- if we change the grouping of numbers, the result does not change.
(addition & multiplication)
3. Distributive property- A, B and C are any three real numbers.
Ex.:
2 x (3 + 4) = (2 x 3) + (2 x 4)
2x7=6+8
14 = 14
4. Whack-a-ball to subtract
6. Grab a Hula-Hoop
PROBLEM is any task or activity for which the students have no prescribed or memorized rules or
methods, nor is there a perception by students that there is a specific ‘correct’ solution method.
PROBLEM SOLVING refers to mathematical tasks that have the potential to provide intellectual
challenges for enhancing students’ mathematical understanding and development. (NCTM)
