Fundamentos de los Números Enteros: Nivel 1

Fundamentos de los Números Enteros: Nivel 1 (FNE-1) is designed to accelerate the mathematics achievement of first grade students who are at risk for mathematics difficulties by focusing on advanced whole number concepts and skills. Topics targeted in FNE-1 include place value and base ten concepts with numbers to 120, number properties, number combinations, addition and subtraction of 2-digit numbers without renaming, and word problem solving. With FNE-1, instruction is delivered in Spanish and includes the same math content as the English program Whole Number Foundations Level 1.

• Tier 2 small-group intervention, provided in addition to core (Tier 1) mathematics instruction
• 60-lessons delivered in small-group formats, three to five times per week in 30 minute sessions
• Focused on concepts and skills from two essential math domains in the Common Core State Standards: Operations and Algebraic Thinking, and Number and Operations in Base Ten

Conceptual Framework

• Development of Whole Number Concepts and Skills, including number sense, base ten, place value, number combinations, and multi-digit operations
• Procedural Fluency and Automaticity
  
  • Systematic practice and review within and across lessons
  • Checks for mastery at the end of each activity
  • Math Practice worksheets to monitor students’ mastery of concepts and skills
• Vocabulary and Discourse
  • Key mathematical vocabulary is identified, explicitly taught and reviewed.
  • Scripted lessons ensure continuity and precise definitions.
  • Students are provided opportunities to use mathematical vocabulary to reason and provide justification.
  • High quality instructional interactions: Each lesson includes frequent opportunities for students to practice skills and demonstrate their knowledge.

Instructional Design Components

• Explicit and systematic instruction: Lessons offer a variety of teacher models, scaffolded instructional examples, and opportunities for academic feedback.
• Prerequisite knowledge identified and pre-taught: Lessons facilitate a critical connection between previously learned content and more advanced whole number concepts and skills.
• Carefully selected and sequenced instructional examples: Lessons promote student success by introducing concepts through simpler examples and then gradually increasing the difficulty as students’ understanding of the concept grows.
• Deliberate opportunities for student practice: Frequent and systematic opportunities build procedural fluency.
• Mathematical models and representations: Lessons incorporate a variety of math models including a number line, hundreds chart, and place value models, to build conceptual understanding.

Materials are available in two different formats:

• Convenient, downloadable PDF format. Once the PDFs are purchased, copies may be made according to the Distribution License Agreement.
• Pre-printed by the University of Oregon Printing Services Department.
