Number sense is a group of skills that is the foundation for math skills. It includes understanding quantities, understanding comparative vocabulary (more, less, larger, smaller, equal, etc.), comparing numbers, understanding relationships between items/numbers, matching symbols (numbers) to quantities, and understanding ordinality and cardinality. These skills are the basis for developing math calculation and problem solving skills.
