   Hi. I am looking for ways to familiarize students with numbers, quantities and basic arithmetic. I’m working with students from sixth grade to ninth grade. There are surprisingly many students who are not able to recall or recalculate basic arithmetic and must rely on a calculator, a table or counting. Many of these students are intelligent and can easily recall other facts and reason well and many can even solve algebra problems quite readily. But there seems to be no memory for numbers which I want to say appears to me that these students have no internal model for numbers and quantities. I do not know how to help them.

   Use cuisenaire rods or multilink cubes to lead children through the combinations of numbers that make larger numbers and in older students smaller numbers or negative numbers with zero pairings.
