“Numeracy, at its heart, is using mathematical relationships to reason with numbers and numerical concepts.” – Pam Harris
According to Harris, Numeracy consists of Accuracy, Flexibility, Algorithms, Speed, Mental, Efficiency, and Creativity Sophistication, Cleverness and Elegance. She suggests using a math warm up daily to get kids to begin to understand these mathematical relationships. The example in the photo is of a Number String. She suggests prompting the students with these questions one at a time in this order to help them begin to understand the “Addition Over” strategy.
