Numbers Alive
Materials
- Colored paper
Description
Using brightly colored paper, draw or print one number on each page, using commas to show place value, adding students slowly to grow the number. Drama and kinesthetic learners will likely all be fans of Numbers Alive.
Directions
A similar game was used to teach second graders the concept of “greater than” and “less than.” Two students held symbol cards while other classmates took turns serving as comparisons.
