    In this course, number sense is defined as an intuitive understanding of numbers, their magnitudes, their relationships and how they are affected by operations. An appreciation of number sense makes numerical activities in curriculum as well as in the real world meaningful.

We will examine case studies to determine how number sense permeates student work in the areas of numerical operations, geometry, rational numbers, and algebra, as well as determine research-based strategies to repair number sense deficits. Teacher candidates will apply number sense concepts to their teaching practice by designing and implementing six number sense activities with an assigned student (focusing on one grade level).
