We had to unscramble a sentence.
We had to figure out what the number line rule was and then we counted by 2's and filled in the missing numbers.
We put our spelling words in alphabetical order.
My BRILLIANT coworker thought of this interactive number line. Use a retractable clothesline (we got them at home depot for $18) for a classroom number line that you can use in an instant and then put away just as fast. We also used it to create sentences, spelling, alphabetical order, etc. the possibilities are endless!!! We've used string in my classroom before but I love how accessible this is.
Here's what it looks like:)
OH...MY... Word! I so want to try this in my room!!!!

I've got a number line like that, but I never knew there was such a thing as a retractable clothesline. So it connects to the wall? Also, I've never used it for words. Nice!

It easily attaches to the wall with a couple of screws. I was able to do it myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really liking my string, so this is pretty cool. Does it stay pretty taught?
DeleteDefinitely, theres a button to keep it tight after you stretch it out. I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I think I need to make a trip to Home Depot. Thanks so much.
DeleteTHAT is an excellent idea, Jill! I've used string for numbers but never thought of words or sentences and NEVER thought of using a retractable clothesline! You are SO smart.
