The Mathematics Teacher, 1988
Good number sense is fundamental for success in estimation, approximation, and problem solving. We need to develop a sense of large numbers because newspaper and television news reports contain many references to large quantities. The federal budget is expressed in billions and trillions of dollars, space distances in millions of light years or ...

Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2005
Drawing on various approaches to the study of mathematics learning, Gersten, Jordan, and Flojo (in this issue) explore the implications of this research for identifying children at risk for developing mathematical disabilities. One of the key topics Gersten et al. consider in their review is that of “number sense.” I expand on their preliminary effort

Feeling number: grounding number sense in a sense of quantity
Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2010Drawing on results from psychology and from cultural and linguistic studies, we argue for an increased focus on developing quantity sense in school mathematics. We explore the notion of “feeling number”, a phrase that we offer in a twofold sense—resisting tendencies to feel numb-er (more numb) by developing a feeling for numbers and the quantities they

Developmental Science, 2004
Four experiments used a preferential looking method to investigate 6-month-old infants' capacity to represent numerosity in visual-spatial displays. Building on previous findings that such infants discriminate between arrays of eight versus 16 discs, but not eight versus 12 discs (Xu & Spelke, 2000), Experiments 1 and 2 investigated whether infants ...

Number Sense on the Number Line
Intervention in School and Clinic, 2017A strong foundation in early number concepts is critical for students’ future success in mathematics. Research suggests that visual representations, like a number line, support students’ development of number sense by helping them create a mental representation of the order and magnitude of numbers.

What's Your Number? Developing Number Sense
The Arithmetic Teacher, 1988In a recent article in Newsweek, a mathematics professor bemoaned innumeracy, a widespread disability among otherwise sophisticated Americans. Such innumerate adults, he feels, have only a hazy understanding of numbers and the way they are used. These adults succumb easily to specious arguments that refer to numbers they do not understand. Many have no

Nursing Older People, 2004
The RCN's survey of care home staff (page four) echoes the almost constant concerns in the mainstream and professional press about the shortage of nurses. However, a careful look behind the doom and gloom headlines is required to understand how many nurses and other health and social care workers we are likely to need to meet the needs of older people ...
