Alberta teachers are invited to access Alberta Education's various numeracy intervention activities by logging into their teacher account on New.LearnAlberta and locating it within the Provincial Assessment Hub (Provincial Numeracy Screening Assessments for K-4 --> select appropriate grade level for assessment and intervention folder).

To count means to say numbers in order while assigning a value to an item in a group and is the basis for one-to-one correspondence. There are five implicit principles to guide the development of counting: stable order, one-to-one correspondence, cardinality, abstraction, and order irrelevance. Check out this slide deck for ways you can support this learning in your classroom and/or small group instruction.

Subitizing is instantly seeing or recognizing 'how many'. This skill is connected to unitizing, counting on, conservation, composing and decomposing number, addition, subtraction, and place value. Check out this slide deck for ways you can support this learning in your classroom and/or small group instruction.

Comparing numbers is a relational number skill where students work with numbers in relation to each other. Examining the difference between numers, quantities, or values to decide if it is greater than, less than, or equal to another quantity is an important part of building a learner's number sense. Check out this slide deck for ways you can support this learning in your classroom and/or small group instruction.

Breaking numbers apart (decomposing) and putting them back together (composing) is an essential understanding for students to have. Understanding part-part-whole relationships is an important part of future work with place value, number concepts, and word problems. Check out this slide deck for ways you can support this learning in your classroom and/or small group instruction.

Number facts are basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division calculations. It is intended that students know the answers from memory. Check out this slide deck for ways you can support this learning in your classroom and/or small group instruction.

Are your students struggling with reversing or changing the order of numbers (transposition) and/or reversing their numbers (writing a mirror image)? Check out this slide deck for ways you can support this learning in your classroom and/or small group instruction.

Check out this collection of scripted intervention lessons (sorted by numbers 1-10, 1-20, and 1-100) and support materials for those lessons. Additionally, there are videos that explain the lessons in depth. Originally designed to support Educational Assistants in delivering effective numeracy intervention, these lessons can be used in small groups by teachers as well. The videos offer helpful background information for anyone wanting additional support in math instruction. Special thanks to Grande Prairie Public School District for partnering with us on this work.
