“…The four components in the conceptual model for teaching math included: (a) target early numeracy skills (Sarama & Clements, 2009); (b) use explicit systematic prompting and feedback Spooner, Knight, Browder, & Smith, 2012); (c) vary daily instruction using a story-based lesson ; and (d) promote generalization to grade-level content through concrete manipulatives (Clements, 1999;Maccini & Gagnon, 2000) and embedded instruction (Jimenez, Browder, Spooner, & DiBiase, 2012). Based on the findings of , Jimenez, Browder, and Saunders (2013) developed early numeracy lessons (i.e., Early Numeracy curriculum) to explicitly teach numeracy skills using a story-based approach with the use of concrete manipulatives, systematic prompting and explicit feedback.…”
