Description
What do your students think of when you show them the number 8? Do they think of it as being the number after 7 and before 9, or have they started to build a richer picture of its relationship to other numbers? Do they see it as 1 + 7, 2 + 6, 3 + 5, and 4 + 4, and appreciate the patterns in those sums? Do they identify its factors: 1, 2, 4 and 8? Do they see it as half of 16, and recognise this as both 1/2 x 16 and 16 / 2? Do they know that it is the square root of 64 ([square root of 64])? Do any of them see it as 2 cubed ([2.sup.3])? Would you be glad if they did? Fluency with basic number facts is vital for students' progress in mathematics. Not only does it contribute to students' facility with mental computation and algorithms, but an understanding of numbers and their properties builds a foundation for future mathematical work including algebra.
