Writing and Understanding Numbers with Auntie Nats: Book 2

Can you think of an area in life where numbers are irrelevant? Learning and understanding numbers provide a student with skills needed to navigate life in the past, present and future. From celebrating birthdays to accessing information, numeracy plays a huge role. Learning and Understanding Numbers with Auntie Nats seeks to help learners to develop a solid foundation and an enjoyable, lasting relationship with numbers. Learners will not only learn to count but will:

• develop number sense. Number sense is the ability to understand, relate and connect numbers. As a teacher with nearly 30 years of continuous interaction in the classroom, I cannot over emphasize the importance of the development of this skill.

• be engaged in the repeated copying, tracing and writing of numbers to boost memory and improve the formation of numbers.

• establish the foundation necessary to compute and solve problems such as reading the clock, calculating elapsed time, count money rounding numbers and more.

• Understand number values.

• enhance reading and comprehension.
