Teaching Number Sense

Developing number sense is such an important concept for kids to master.  This simple concept can create a strong base for understanding and learning math concepts.  I wanted to create an engaging printable that would require kids to identify numbers in a variety of ways while developing number sense.
What is Number Sense?
“Number Sense is the student’s fluidity and flexibility with numbers.”
Students are able to understand their relationship to one another.
Within this packet, students will work on understanding numbers in the following ways:
*numbers
*number word recognition
*counting objects in an array
*ten frame representation
*base ten block representation
*dice
*tally marks
