Early Numeracy with Sheila Robitaille

Early Numeracy with Sheila Robitaille

In this episode of Math Universally Speaking, Ron Martiello welcomes veteran educator and instructional leader Sheila Robitaille for a conversation on early numeracy and number sense development—two essential foundations for long-term success in mathematics learning.

Together, they explore how students often experience mathematics as procedures rather than conceptual understanding, and how weak early numeracy skills can contribute to math anxiety and disengagement. Sheila shares practical elementary math strategies, including purposeful wait time, mathematical discourse, gamification, and instructional approaches aligned with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to support all learners.

The discussion highlights how play, inquiry, and low-floor/high-ceiling tasks promote equitable access while strengthening students’ mathematical identity and confidence.

The episode also introduces World Maths Day, a free global mathematics event hosted by 3P Learning, connecting students worldwide through engaging live math challenges.

If you’re looking to strengthen number sense, improve math engagement, and create inclusive mathematics classrooms where every student can succeed, this episode offers practical ideas you can use immediately.
