Number sense in a secondary school context
… over social norms, tools and interaction. Number sense activity was distributed according to the adapted 'environment' metaphor (Greeno, 1991 ). Students negotiated mathematical meanings by activating and using cognitive tools and discursive resources in the number sense 'environment'.

An examination of the relationships between teaching and learning styles, and the number sense and problem solving ability of Year 7 students
Independent studies of teaching for number sense and problem solving have revealed that teaching for either of them separately poses a great challenge for the teacher. Yet research focusing on the relationship between number sense and problem solving was virtually non-existent, although the …

Growth in Math Skills and Response to Math Intervention in Kindergarten
… may begin with a lack of basic understanding of numbers, or “number sense,” in early childhood. The Response to Intervention (RTI) model of education incorporates the strategies of early identification and intervention to address skills deficits as they emerge. This study evaluated student growth …
