The Developing Number Concepts series by Kathy Richardson is a complete K-2 curriculum for number operations that was designed to help young children develop important foundational mathematics concepts.
Each of the three books in the series includes cohesive and organized sets of activities and lessons focused on particular mathematical ideas. Every concept is developed both through teacher-directed and independent activities. Because children learn at different rates and come to school with varying levels of mathematical understanding the activities are “expandable” and, therefore, make it easy for teachers to differentiate their instruction.
This series is easy for teachers to use. Each book includes background information on the featured math concept and a summary of ways to teach the concept. Teachers are given questions to guide their observations as they observe their students using the activities. The questions are geared to help teachers determine if the tasks the children are working with are appropriate and are meeting their needs.
The Planning Guide for Developing Number Concepts accompanies the series. The guide was written for kindergarten through grade three teachers and teachers of multi-grade classes. It includes comprehensive year-long teaching plans along with classroom management ideas.

Thinking with Numbers
by Kathy Richardson
Grades: K-2 • Item No: 100-1005W
Price: $155.00
The Math Time Thinking with Numbers video set shows children doing arithmetic in a way that makes sense to them, using strategies that are simple yet meaningful and powerful. Thinking with Numbers features classroom teachers and students engaged in mental math sessions that foster children's understanding of number concepts. This unique approach enables teachers to find out what children are thinking and doing when they add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
This set demonstrates real students in real classrooms, typical of most students in this country. Yet not one of them says, "I can't do this problem." They all try, and they all find a way to solve and problem they are given. Why? Because they have been taught to do math in a way that makes sense to them.
Video Set includes
• 2 video cassettes
• Discussion guide
• Handout section for teachers
