The Number Sense In-a-Click Module 5 by Tara West at Little Minds at Work offers a developmentally appropriate and thoughtfully structured approach to deepening understanding of teen numbers 11–19. This 25-day module guides students through meaningful practice with identifying, building, comparing, ordering, and composing/decomposing teen numbers. With a strong emphasis on the Say Ten way, hidden tens, double ten frame modeling, and strategic repetition, students develop a clear understanding that teen numbers are made of a ten and some more — and how those parts can be represented, compared, and applied across different number sense skills.

Each lesson follows a consistent three-part structure: a Number Sense Warm-Up using the included Number Sense Mat, a Skill Introduction (I Do) with concrete modeling and guided math talk, and a Skill Application (We Do / You Do) using the Skill Application Mat. Teachers are supported with 25 detailed lesson plans, 5 rotating Number Sense Mats, 5 Skill Application Mats, and 25 coordinating student printables. Lessons are designed to be visual-first and concept-rich, using tools such as fingers, cubes, ten frames, embedded number paths, and themed counting sets to build deep number understanding.

Module 5 is flexible and ideal for whole group, small group, intervention, or independent work. It requires minimal prep—just print or project and go. No cutting is required. Simply add a dry-erase marker and a manipulative of choice, and you’re ready to teach. Whether you're reinforcing key skills or spiraling back for fluency, Module 5 brings joyful, structured, and research-aligned math instruction to life.

What’s Included:

– 25 detailed lesson plans that walk you step-by-step through each instructional moment, designed to build strong number sense and student confidence.

– 5 engaging Number Sense Mats used across lessons for warm-ups, counting, comparing, and visual number routines that bring math to life.

– 5 Skill Application Mats that guide students through hands-on practice and independent learning with purposeful, structured activities.

– 25 printable practice sheets that reinforce the daily skill, offering targeted review and meaningful extension—perfect for centers, small group, or take-home use.
