Number Sense Screener (NSS¿) K-1, Research Edition

Number sense is a key indicator of future math success. Now there¿s a quick, reliable, and affordable way to screen early numerical competencies in Grades K¿1 and identify students at risk for later math struggles. Developed by Nancy Jordan¿a leading expert on children¿s math difficulties¿and quantitative psychologist Joseph Glutting, the research-based NSS screens children on six key competencies related to number sense. Easy to complete in just 15 to 20 minutes per child with no training required, NSS gives educators and school psychologists the information they need to catch at-risk students early, predict later achievement, start planning effective interventions, monitor progress, and meet national and state standards. The areas assessed on the NSS are aligned with the Common Core State Standards in Kindergarten and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards and Focal Points. The complete NSS includes a User¿s Guide with clear and specific instructions, a Stimulus Book with all the visual stimuli needed to administer the items, an explicit Quick Script users can follow for accurate administration, and a pack of 25 Record Sheets to record student responses. An easy and accurate screener for emerging math difficulties, NSS will help schools identify at-risk students so intervention can start early and young children have the best chance for future math success.
