Number sense is a key indicator of future math success. Now there's a quick, reliable, and affordable way to screen early numerical competencies in Grades K-1 and identify students at risk for later math struggles.

View our recorded webinar: Catching Math Struggles Early with the Number Sense Screener (TM) presented by Nancy Jordan.

Developed by Nancy Jordan--a leading expert on children's math difficulties--and quantitative psychologist Joseph Glutting, the research-based NSS(TM) screens children on six key competencies related to number sense. Easy to complete in just 15 to 20 minutes per child with no training required, NSS gives educators and school psychologists the information they need to

  • Catch at-risk students early. NSS pinpoints young children who may be at risk for learning difficulties in math, before their struggles with math intensify.
  • Predict later achievement. NSS predicts mathematic achievement through at least third grade, so it's easy to see where young learners need additional support to avoid falling behind.
  • Start planning effective interventions. Results of NSS give educators clear information they can use to target their math interventions and meet each student's learning needs.
  • Monitor progress. NSS can be conducted several times in kindergarten and in the beginning of first grade, so educators can track students' progress and identify areas in which students need more support.
  • Meet national and state standards. The areas assessed on the NSS are aligned with the Common Core State Standards in Kindergarten and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards and Focal Points.

The complete NSS includes a User's Guide with clear and specific instructions, a Stimulus Book with all the visual stimuli needed to administer the items, an explicit Quick Script users can follow for accurate administration, and a pack of 25 Record Sheets to record student responses.

Screen six key numerical competencies:

  • Counting
  • Number Recognition
  • Number Comparison
  • Nonverbal Calculation
  • Story Problems
  • Number Combinations

Nancy C. Jordan is Principal Investigator of the Number Sense Intervention Project (funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) as well as the Center for Improving Learning of Fractions (funded by the Institute of Educational Sciences). She is author or coauthor of many articles in mathematics learning difficulties and has recently published articles in Child Development, Journal of Learning Disabilities, Developmental Science, Developmental Psychology, and Journal of Educational Psychology. Dr. Jordan holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa, where she was awarded Phi Beta Kappa, and a master's degree from Northwestern University. She received her doctoral degree in education from Harvard University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago. Before beginning her doctoral studies, she taught elementary school children with special needs. Dr. Jordan served on the Committee on Early Childhood Mathematics of the National Research Council of the National Academies.


Joseph J. Glutting is a quantitative psychologist. He is a former project director of clinical and industrial measurement for The Psychological Corporation. He is also a certified school psychologist with 5 yearsa (TM) full-time experience in the public schools. He previously taught classes in child psychopathology, intelligence testing, and child personality assessment. Dr. Glutting specializes in applied multivariate statistics and test construction. He developed several standardized measures of intelligence, occupational interest, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) including the Wide Range Intelligence Test (WRIT; Wide Range, 2000), Wide Range Interest and Occupation Testa "Second Edition (WRIOT2; Wide Range, 2003), and College ADHD Response Evaluation (CARE; Wide Range, 2002). He coauthored the Number Sense Battery (NSB; Merrill Publishing, in press) with Nancy Jordan and published more than 100 peerreviewed journal articles and book chapters. Dr. Glutting currently teaches graduate classes in applied multivariate and univariate statistics, as well as an undergraduate class in tests and measurement. His research is supported by the Institutes of Education Sciences and the National Institutes of Health.

Nancy Dyson has been in education for more than 30 years as both a teacher and the director of a parent cooperative school. She recently completed her doctoral degree in education at the University of Delaware with a research focus on students struggling with mathematics.
