Verbal Counting ModelFrom a child's perspective

Because we’re so familiar with 1, 2, 3, we’ll use letters.

A = 1B = 2C = 3D = 4E = 5, and so forth

Framing the Future of Mathematics in Minnesota

Place value, not counting, is the key to under-standing numbers.

Place value is best taught by:

• Subitizing (with groups of fives),• Initially using Math Way of number naming,• Incorporating Place Value Cards,• Patterning (trading with 4-digit numbers).
