Research-Based Number Sense Intervention

Kickstart is grounded in general research behind number sense and supported by more specific research related to the developmental progression of instruction. Kickstart moves from concrete to abstract thinking about numbers, with multimodal activities to reinforce conceptual understanding and a spiral approach that builds on skills and underlying concepts over time.
