Numerate Learner
Four Roles of the Numerate Learner 
Thought Communicator
Ex., Here is the answer. What could the questions be? Create a poem, song or dance to demonstrate your thinking
Communicating math thinking through problem solving, reasoning and proving, reflecting, using thinking tools, connecting and representing
Sense Maker
Making sense of math patterns, operations, computations, procedures, relationships and language
Ex., What is the pattern? What is the pattern rule? Does this answer make sense to you?
Critical Interpreter
Adopting a critical numeracy lens to apply math knowledge and skills to challenge the power of usage of numbers
Ex., Who might benefit from using these numbers? How can I use data to support my ideas?
Skill User
Recognizing and knowing when and how to apply number operations, computational strategies and procedures
Ex., What patterns do you see?, Which number is bigger?, What math operation are you going to use?

•shows teachers how to foster and support daily practice that allows students to use their diverse identities to build their math knowledge and incorporate their cultural experiences
•educators create a connected classroom culture that is built on trust and mutual respect where students are able to ask questions, pose problems, explore ideas and make decisions
•promotes a new way of thinking and incorporates 21st century skills where students are engaged in problem solving, innovation, and critical thinking
The Kindergarten Progarm 2016
"Intentional, purposeful teacher interactions are necessary to ensure that mathematical learning is maximized during play"
"Intentionally introducing ideas and materials connected with mathematics in the classroom - or "mathematizing" the learnng environment - can create a wide variety of opportunities for children to learn about mathematics"
"Mathematic skills among children in Kindergarten were the best predictor of later school achievement"
"Critical thinking and problem solving, applying technology and understanding the use of data require a solid grounding in mathematical concepts and procedures
"When the mathematical problems children are exploring are shown to be connected and relevant to their daily life, the problems provide a vehicle for the children both to apply what they know and to develop new strategies."
"To become proficient (children) need to spend sustained periods of time doing mathematics - solving problems, reasoning, developing understanding, practicing skills and building connections between their previous knowledge and new knowledge."
