PaTTANβs Mission
The mission of the Pennsylvania
Training and Technical Assistance
Network (PaTTAN) is to support the
efforts and initiatives of the Bureau of
Special Education, and to build the
capacity of local educational agencies
to serve students who receive special
education services.

PDEβs Commitment to Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
Our goal for each child is to ensure
Individualized Education Program (IEP)
teams begin with the general
education setting with the use of
Supplementary Aids and Services
before considering a
more restrictive environment.

Session Outline
Early numeracy concepts and skills are essential
for continued achievement in mathematics. Structuring
studentsβ earliest experiences with mathematics in a
CRA sequence can help them conceptualize the
concept of number and provide for more fluent
and flexible counting and computation.
Objectives
Participants will be able to model whole numbers using place value
concepts.
Participants will understand the importance of the ability to subitize
and apply to skill to teach addition and subtraction.
Participants will be able to utilize various tools (ten-frame, rek-n-rek,
etc.) to model mathematical concepts.

Language & Number
The numeric systems invented vary across time and place, and there is no
doubt that the properties of such a system can facilitate or impede the
development of childrenβs mathematical understanding.
Chinese (and Asian languages based on ancient Chinese) are organized such
that the numerical names are compatible with the traditional 10-base
numeration system. So spoken numbers correspond exactly to their written
equivalent: 15 is spoken as "ten five" and 57 as "five ten seven."
Most European systems of number words are irregular up to 100. For
example in French, 92 is said as "four twenty twelve," corresponding to
4 Γ 20 + 12.
The more complicated the number word system is, the harder it is for
children to learn the counting sequence.

CONSISTENT LANGUAGE
Rationale β Doing What Works
Research-based studies show that students who use
concrete materials develop more precise and more
comprehensive mental representations, often
show more motivation and on-task behavior,
understand mathematical ideas, and better apply these
ideas to life situations.
(Harrison, & Harrison,1986)
(Suydam & Higgins,1977)

Why would CRA be effective?
β’ Multimodal forms of math acquisition to aid
memory and retrieval
β’ Meaningful manipulations of materials allows
students to rationalize abstract mathematics
β’ Procedural accuracy; provides alternate to
algorithm memorization
(Witzel, Riccomini, & Scheider, 2008)

β’ Direct Instruction
β’ Errorless Teaching
β’ Formative Assessment
β’ Correct Feedback
β’ Improved Teacher Content Knowledge
β Task Analyze
β Instruct on Specific Skills or Process
β Monitor progress

uncounted group to counted group (π: π πͺπππππππππ ππππ)
Stable-order β Establishes consistent sequence
Cardinal β The last count represent the quantity in the counted
group (πͺπππ πππππππ)
Abstraction β applying counting to like objects, actions, sounds,

The Rekenrek (also called an arithmetic rack) has emerged as perhaps the
most powerful of all models for young learners.
Developed by mathematics education researchers at the highly regarded
Freudenthal Institute in the Netherlands.
Designed to reflect the natural intuitions and informal strategies that young
children bring to the study of numbers, addition, and subtraction.
Provides a visual model that encourages young learners to build numbers by
β’ groups of five
β’ groups of ten
β’ doubling and halving strategies
β’ counting-on from known addition/subtraction
