%X A strong foundation in early number concepts is critical for students¡¯ future success in mathematics. Research suggests that visual representations, like a number line, support students¡¯ development of number sense by helping them create a mental representation of the order and magnitude of numbers. In addition, explicitly sequencing instruction to transition from concrete to visual to abstract representations of mathematics concepts supports students¡¯ conceptual understanding. This column describes and illustrates how teachers can use number lines and features of explicit and systematic instruction to support students¡¯ early development of number sense
