Exploring 4 Categories of Number Sense Routines
The first five to fifteen minutes of a math block set the tone for discourse and engagement during math class. At All Learners Network (ALN)), we refer to this time as Launch. This crucial time helps to position all students as mathematicians, as they lean into number sense routines and conversations. The All Learners Lesson Structure utilizes Launch as a powerful start to its balanced math block.
Playing with Numbers: Early & Joyful Math Interactions
We know that when young children have positive, early experiences engaging with math before kindergarten, it has a positive impact on their mathematical understanding later in school. “Early competence with number has proven to be a predictor of future success in school mathematics into the high school years” (Denton & West, 2002; Duncan et al., 2007; National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2008). It matters what experiences and opportunities we create for young children to develop joyful moments when investigating mathematical concepts. The evidence is there - it makes a difference. And- man …

The Five Key Components for Unlocking Math Progress
All Learners Network (ALN) is committed to improving math pedagogy so that all students can access quality math instruction. We know that it is time to move away from antiquated notions around math education and focus on strong pedagogy. It is through equipping and supporting our educators that all students will gain access to strong mathematics instruction.

Why Should ALL Math Blocks Include Launch?
At All Learners Network (ALN), we start every balanced math block with Launch. Launch is typically about 5-15 minutes, depending on your time and schedule, and focuses on building number sense, reasoning, community and productive math discourse. Students gather as a whole class to engage in a number sense routine, with time to think independently as well as share their ideas with their classmates.
