Developing Number Knowledge: Assessment,Teaching and Intervention with 7-11 year olds (Math Recovery)

A great read for teachers/ tutors/ interventionists. I am a resource specialist teacher, and I love it! It gives background knowledge about different key components of math/ common mistakes made by students, simple repetitive activities, and lots of recommendations for different activities practicing all different skills. I have only read chapters 1-4 currently, but so far it has been amazing. Next year I plan on completely restructuring my lessons to follow the core areas of this book.

This book is a must have for any educator teaching elementary math. It teaches you how to really think about the way children learn mathematically and then gives you very practical guidance and activities to support them as learners. AWESOME resource... was the foundation for a recent PD session at my school that was well received!

Wright and co provide us with clear guidelines from their prior experiences with; straight-forward strategies for developing number knowledge. The book includes a good mix of thinking, representations, equipment and things to look out for. Great stuff!N Curtis MEduc, PGradDipM

I am always looking for books that will enrich my understanding of how children develop mathematical sense and understanding. I have read and used the other 3 books by Robert Wright et al, so I knew I'd want to have this one too. Like the previous books, this one provides guidance into what children need to know and common misconceptions they may have. There are numerous activities -easy to implement with few materials, in most cases - that you can use to work intentionally towards specific learning goals for each child. Some of the reading is a little dry, so it's not what I'd call an "easy read," but it is clearly written and very helpful if you're working with students who struggle with number sense development.

This book is a great book to help develop numeracy. Lots of lesson ideas. Easy to follow and read. I love how easily it can be implented in your classroom. A must have for all elementary teachers.

Great strategies on how to teach number knowledge and understand the concepts of numbers, instead of memorizing facts in the future. Helps students with visualization.

YEAH, it's a great tool for the intermediate teacher. We know early intervention is important, but when the needs are still there in upper elementary, we need a tool also.

Outstanding compilation detailing the guided progression needed to help intervene students with math who need additional instruction with place value, multiplication, and division.

Ideal for teaching number with primary school children as a class or for catch up!

The content of this book is fantastic! However, if you purchase the Kindle version you are unable to access the resources that with the physical book come on a CD. Renders this book disappointing!!!

Has Challenged my teaching of number. Good to be made to think more deeply. Look forward to using in the new session.

I bought this as I already have the earlier version that deals with children in the younger age group. I am looking forward to using it.
