Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
The big number line challenge! Students were given an envelope of numbers, a quick lesson on number lines and sent off to complete the following challenge: There were 5 different groups who came up with 5 different strategies on how to place their numbers. The only thing that all the groups did the same was put 50 in the middle. But even with 5 different strategies, all of the groups successfully completed the challenge. Ask your child which part of the challenge they found harder, putting the numbers in place, or working as a group to solve the challenge? After our number line challenge, students were introduced to the term, "benchmarks". Everyone agreed that benchmarks make number lines easier to read and help us figure out where the numbers fit.
This week we've been practicing placing numbers on number lines with our school math specialist, Mrs. Gadicke. She's been challenging us with a great game that you can play at home: https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/playgame/316
