Numeracy Consultants
Numeracy Consultants is an American educational organization dedicated to improving math outcomes for elementary and middle school students through research-based intervention programs. The company designs and delivers instructional materials that prioritize conceptual understanding, number sense, and mathematical reasoning. Its mission is to provide effective, developmentally appropriate support for students who struggle with math, using strategies grounded in cognitive science, visual modeling, and formative assessment.
History
The company was founded in 2010 by Dane Ziemba, a classroom teacher seeking more effective ways to support students who struggled with math. Drawing on education research and classroom experience, Ziemba began developing his own instructional materials, which later evolved into formal programs offered through Numeracy Consultants.[1]
Educational Approach
Numeracy Consultants promotes a conceptual approach to math instruction that emphasizes number sense, visual modeling, and mathematical reasoning. The company’s programs align with learning progressions and incorporate findings from cognitive science and math education research.[2]
Programs
Numeracy Consultants offers several specialized intervention programs designed for Tier 2 and Tier 3 instructional support. All programs incorporate scaffolded instruction, visual models, and embedded formative assessments.[3]
Primary Numeracy Program This program targets early elementary students, focusing on key skills such as counting, subitizing, place value, and part-whole relationships. It builds foundational number sense using a developmental learning sequence.[3]
Multiplicative Thinking Program
This program develops students’ understanding of multiplication and division using equal groups, arrays, number lines, and area models. It emphasizes flexible reasoning and the structure of the base-ten system.[3]
Fractional Reasoning Program
Designed to support students who struggle with fractions, this program teaches fractions as numbers through visual models, number lines, and ratio reasoning. It focuses on helping students understand fractions conceptually rather than procedurally.[3]
Word Problem Intervention Program
This program teaches students how to make sense of word problems using schema-based instruction and visual representations. Students learn to categorize problems, model them, and apply the appropriate strategies.[3]
Research-Based Approach
Numeracy Consultants' instructional methods draw on educational research, including Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) model, and Response to Intervention (RTI) frameworks.[2] The company also references the work of math education experts such as John A. Van de Walle, Cathy Fosnot, and Jennifer Bay-Williams.[2]
Impact and Reach
Numeracy Consultants partners with schools and districts across North America, providing intervention resources, coaching, and professional development. Its programs are used in both general education and special education settings. The company also offers a library of on-demand instructional videos to support educators and students.[4]
