  Case: Number Sense
A student in Mr. Apple's math class is struggling with number sense. The student has a hard time making tens, and does not understand the concept of decomposing and making a friendly ten number. What strategies could Mr. Apple try to help the student further understand making tens?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I find it very important to use real world manipulatives to help struggling students in math. One strategy to use with number sense is money. For this task, you can use one dollar bills and ten dollar bills as well as pennies and dimes.
