Number sense and how it develops

Number sense develops in a fairly consistent order: counting words, then one-to-one correspondence, then cardinality, then the realisation that quantities can be taken apart and recombined. Each step depends on the one before, which is why a child who seems stuck is often missing something earlier rather than the thing being taught.

Mixed practice is harder than it looks, and usefully so. When every question is addition, a child can switch off and apply one procedure; when the operation changes each round, they have to read the problem first. That reading step is exactly what breaks down in word problems and on tests, so drilling it deliberately is worth the extra difficulty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is number sense?
The intuitive grasp of what numbers mean and how they relate — knowing that 7 is bigger than 5, that it is 3 away from 10, and that it can be split into 3 and 4. It is what makes arithmetic feel reasonable rather than arbitrary.
Is mixed practice better than practising one operation at a time?
Both have a use. Practising one operation builds the facts; mixing them builds the habit of reading the problem before answering, which is what breaks down in word problems and on tests. Use single-operation practice to fix a gap and mixed practice to keep it.
