As we know, kids who have strong number sense understand what numbers are, how they relate to each other, and the affects that different operations have on them.  These kids can easily compose and decompose numbers and are able to make reasonable estimates making computation much easier.  In other words, kids with strong number sense are comfortable with numbers.  And when kids are comfortable with numbers, math becomes much easier.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/pdf\/BuildingaStrongMathematicalFoundationatHome.pdf\" title=\"Building a Strong Mathematical Foundation at Home\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> for the preK-2 version: Building a Strong Mathematical Foundation at Home<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/familymathnight.com\/pdf\/DevelopingNumberSenseatHome.pdf\" title=\"Developing Number Sense at Home\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> for the 2-5 version: Developing Number Sense at Home<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/BuildingaStrongMathematicalFoundationThumbnail.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/BuildingaStrongMathematicalFoundationThumbnail.png\" alt=\"Building a Strong Mathematical Foundation\" width=\"262\" height=\"337\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/BuildingaStrongMathematicalFoundationThumbnail.png 262w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/BuildingaStrongMathematicalFoundationThumbnail-233x300.png 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DevelopingNumberSenseatHomeThumbnail.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DevelopingNumberSenseatHomeThumbnail.png\" alt=\"Developing Number Sense at Home\" width=\"260\" height=\"336\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DevelopingNumberSenseatHomeThumbnail.png 260w, https:\/\/www.familymathnight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/DevelopingNumberSenseatHomeThumbnail-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parents are always looking for simple ways to help their child academically at home.
