Assessing Math Concepts - Number Arrangements

Assessing Math Concepts: Number Arrangements helps teachers understand how children see and organize numbers. This resource focuses on a student's ability to recognize number patterns, understand visual groupings, and make sense of numbers arranged in structured and unstructured formats.

Number Arrangements gives teachers clear assessment tasks that reveal how students interpret quantities without counting each object. By observing how children respond to number patterns, teachers gain insights into early numeracy development and can adjust instruction to support flexible thinking. The book includes background information for teachers, step by step guidance for assessments, observation tips, and reproducible black line masters for classroom use.

This resource supports foundational ideas that lead to strong number sense and fluency. It is ideal for classroom instruction, intervention, and progress monitoring across early elementary grades.
