| The books in the Developing Number Concept series provide everything teachers require to meet the range of needs in their classrooms and ensure success for all students. Concepts are developed through both teacher-directed and independent activities. Because children learn at different rates, the activities are "expandable," making it easy for teachers to differentiate their instruction. The program is ideal for math intervention programs. Each chapter of each book includes Chapter Overview, Goals, Analyzing and Assessing Needs, Classroom Scenes, About the Activities, Teacher Directed and Independent Activities, Blackline Masters. Activities from this series are aligned to the assessments results from Assessing Math Concepts enabling teachers to target their instruction to the needs of each student. Book 1 focuses on the concepts of counting, comparing, and pattern. See below for additional resources to make implementing the program even easier including pre-printed activity cards for the station activities, manipulative kits, spinners, and dice. | Book 2 focuses on the concepts of addition and subtraction. See below for additional resources to make implementing the program even easier including pre-printed activity cards for the station activities, manipulative kits, spinners, and dice. | Book 3 focuses on the concepts of place value, multiplication and division. | Designed to accompany Kathy Richardson's series, Developing Number Concepts, this resource book includes comprehensive, ready-to-use, year-long teaching plans along with classroom management ideas. This guide is not designed to tell classroom teachers what to teach one day at a time. Rather, it is intended to help the classroom teacher present sets of related activities, each for a period of four to eight weeks. Focusing on a particular concept for several weeks helps children to fully develop their understanding of that concept and to gain competence and facility with the mathematics they are learning. The underlying structure of the "math-time" routine, as described in this guide, gives teachers a practical, reasonable way to respond to children individually as the children work to make sense of the math they are doing. This is the essential guide for implementing DNC teaching into your classroom! |
