Bundock, Kaitlin; Shumway, Jessica F.; Burnside, Monika; King, Jessica – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2023
A critical challenge for elementary mathematics teachers is meeting the learning needs of all students, especially when there is variability in students' number knowledge. Because young students' number system knowledge (NSK) contributes to future success in mathematics, NSK activities must be designed to engage all students, particularly students…
