Number Line Adventures!

We have been learning to order numbers between 0 and 20.  We have been learning to order numbers forwards...and backwards!

Today we had a number line challenge at maths time.  Mrs Graham drew a chalk number line on the carpet.  It had no numbers on it!  

We each got a turn to put a number on the number line, and we had to work together to make sure they were in the right order from 0 all the way to 20.


We each had a turn to pick up a number - it was like a lucky dip because we didn't know what number we would get!





We had to tell everyone where we were going to put our number.
Lohita knows that 6 comes after 5.
Way to go Lohita!


We had to use the words 'before' ... 'after' ... and ... 'in between' to explain where our number should go on the number line.



Hmmmm, Hope is thinking hard, and checking that she has put 8 in the right place, and that the numbers are in the right order.
  






We had to do lots of thinking and checking!








Hooray - you did it E6.   All the numbers are back in order on the number line!

Maybe you can write some numbers on paper at home and then make a number line like we did at school - you might be able to do it outside in your backyard with a piece of chalk!
