Number Sense Screener™ (NSS™) Set, K–1, Research Edition

<DIV><P>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. </P><P>View our recorded webinar: <I>Catching Math Struggles Early with the Number Sense Screener ™</I> presented by Nancy Jordan.</P><P>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 <B>just 15 to 20 minutes</B> per child with <B>no training required</B>, NSS gives educators and school psychologists the information they need to</P><ul><li><B>Catch at-risk students early</B>. NSS pinpoints young children who may be at risk for learning difficulties in math, <I>before</I> their struggles with math intensify. <li><B>Predict later achievement</B>. NSS predicts mathematic achievement through at least third grade, so it's easy to see where young learners need additional support to avoid falling behind. <li><B>Start planning effective interventions</B>. Results of NSS give educators clear information they can use to target their math interventions and meet each student's learning needs. <li><B>Monitor progress</B>. NSS can be conducted several times in kindergarten and in the beginning of first grade, so educators can track students' progress and identify areas in which students need more support. <li><B>Meet national and state standards</B>. 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.</li></ul><P>The complete NSS includes a <B>User's Guide</B> with clear and specific instructions, a <B>Stimulus Book</B> with all the visual stimuli needed to administer the items, an explicit <B>Quick Script</B> users can follow for accurate administration, and a pack of 25 <B>Record Sheets</B> to record student responses. </P><P><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.</P><P><B>Screen six key numerical competencies:</B></P><ul><li>Counting <li>Number Recognition <li>Number Comparison <li>Nonverbal Calculation <li>Story Problems <li>Number Combinations</li></ul><P>Learn more about NSS!<P></DIV></P></P>
