Let's hang out the numbers.

Yay, I found some creative mojo today and finished my new products.  Introducing my new series called 'Make a Number Line'.  For the first instalment, I've used From the Pond's winter clothes set.  The idea of this product is for students to engage in any lesson to do with number/place value and physically hang the numbers to create a number line.  I developed this idea (you guessed it) hanging out my washing. 

Here is how I created my number lines.

 
Print the cards to A3 and laminate.  I found a tall container that fits the string, pegs and cards.  Make sure that the string or rope you will use is durable and at least 3 metres long.
 
 
The photo above shows the 0-100 pack.  As a starting point you can ask the students with the 0, 50 and 100 cards to put their numbers on the number line first.  This will make it easier for the other students and then can lead into discussions about 'what half of a number is?'.
 
 
Sorry for the crammed number line - needed to squish for the photo.  Thanks to my partner too who is hiding behind the corner holding this up.  You could call students out one or two at a time to put their number on the line.  They could work individually or with a partner.  If a student puts the number in the incorrect place you or the other students could guide them to where the number should go. 
 

It's very important for students to understand number placement and this activity can be used as a great class lesson.  I've made four packs in the winter clothes set 0-20, 0-50, 0-100 and 0-1000. 
Keep reading to see how you can grab a pack for yourself!

To celebrate I'm going to be giving 3 lucky people the chance to win all 4 number line sets.  To enter click on the Rafflecopter and enter your details.  If you can't wait, click on the picture for each pack and it will take you to my TpT shop.  They are all HALF PRICE for the next 24 hours.  With school not so far away, these are a steal and a lot of fun.

A Birthday Freebie!

So close, but yet so far!  With four days left until holidays, I'm finding I am really looking at the clock.  I know it won't make time go any quicker, but yet I still stare endlessly. 

I have had a term like no other.  Starting the year off with one year level and going to another.  I was bummed at first, but am starting to settle in to my new grade and job role.  I went to take photos of my new room, but I  had to take down all of my posters and curtains because our school is getting blinds over the break.  I promise I will post some soon.

I excited too as tomorrow is my birthday.  And no this isn't an early April Fool prank, it really is.  I am wondering at the moment if my partner is pranking me as he asked if anything came in the mail.  I told him just some junk.  He gave me the look of 'Oh dear.'  He said he hopes the package comes tomorrow or I won't have a present.  I'm still wondering if he is being sincere or not!!

I have made a free set of place value posters to celebrate.  Head over to my TpT store to download them now.

I love Mel's stick kids - I secretly think this one looks like me. 
 
Have a great April Fool's Day tomorrow if you are pranking - good luck and if not -
WATCH OUT!
