Early Numeracy Curriculum

Lay the foundation for Math instruction

The researched-based Early Numeracy Curriculum teaches early developing numeracy skills to elementary students with significant developmental disabilities, including autism. Its primary objective is to lay the foundation for later math instruction by stressing fluency in number sense. It begins with counting with one-to-correspondence and progresses to more complex skills like using sets for addition and creating ABAB patterns. Lessons are taught systematically incorporating scripted lessons, least intrusive prompt strategies, teachable objectives, and ongoing assessments. The 24 lessons (divided among four progressive units) focus on fun themes, like Mardi Gras or bugs, and give students ample opportunity to practice using a variety of hands-on materials.

The Early Numeracy content aligns with the Common Core and four of the five NCTM Standards: Numbers and Operations, Algebra, Geometry, and Measurement.

Research

Research Results
Browder, Jimenez, Saunders, Hudson, and Stevenson (in press) demonstrated the effectiveness of the Early Numeracy Curriculum with elementary students who have moderate-to-severe developmental disabilities. All students acquired targeted early numeracy skills across multiple units, and generalization of skills was observed across units for each student.
