I’ll be starting off the articles with a brief one on the number line. I got all of my notes laid out for it, and then did some homework to make sure I hadn’t forgotten anything.
There are some very savvy number line teaching tools out there, including one that will generate number line worksheets for you teachers out there.
My favorite, though, was this cute demo game from Harcourt. You get to be an engineer, and your lion friend tells you were to pick up your passengers. It’s pretty basic, but it definitely gets across the concept of being able to move back and forth on the number line to get where you need to be.
My own article should be available by Wednesday. Stay tuned!
