Numeracy Consultants' instructional approach is straightforward and direct. Student assessment data ignites the process, and the CRA instructional model fuels the learning. We offer a comprehensive instructional approach based on research-informed practice that is designed to enhance numeracy skills across diverse age groups and skill levels. This multifaceted approach is supported by explicit, sequential, systematic, and scaffolded direct instruction for effective math teaching.
The Primary Numeracy Assessment serves as a crucial cornerstone in evaluating students' foundational numerical skills, marking the initial steps in their journey toward numerical fluency and mathematical proficiency. This standards based assessment encompasses essential areas of numeracy development, including counting, addition and subtraction, part-whole relationships, numeral identification, and place value understanding. Each of these components acts as a gateway, guiding students through progressive stages of numeracy development and equipping them with the tools necessary to navigate the rich landscape of mathematical concepts.
The second part of the approach involves the use of the assessment data for the selection of leveled lessons and materials for instruction. During this phase, the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) instructional model is implemented—a well-established pedagogical framework that emphasizes conceptual comprehension and skill mastery. By blending the leveled student data with research-backed strategies and explicit instruction, we create a dynamic and tailored learning experience that nurtures mathematical competence and instills confidence in students.
