Number sense development in young children has been linked to future math achievement in a manner similar to the way phonological awareness (i.e., children's awareness and use of sounds within a language to make meaning) has been linked to reading achievement (e.g., Kosanovich, Weinstein, & Goldman 2009). That is, they may be indicators of future achievement. Even though some children may memorize the basic facts and recite them, if they are unable to use those facts when they move to larger numbers, confusion may lead to difficulties with subsequent mathematics skills (Witzel 2003). However, if children understand the procedures and the concept behind them, they are more likely to successfully progress to more complex concepts. This article discusses three strategies to help young children who struggle in math develop number sense are: (1) using concrete experiences to develop number sense and numeration; (2) teaching skills to proficiency; and (3) incorporating language experiences.
