Lesson Title: Racing Along the Number line

Subject: Math

Rationale or Purpose:

• Students in second, third, and many in fourth grades need manipulatives and visual models to help them understand mathematical concepts. The number line is a valuable tool to help students see relationships between numbers.
• The TAKS test requires that students have a good understanding of the number line.
• After completing these activities, students should be able to:
  • use the number line to order numbers and tell which is larger or smaller
  • use the number line to complete simple addition and subtraction problems
  • invent addition and subtraction problems and demonstrate how to solve them using a number line
