This blog post specifically talks about Number Lines and shows several ways to use them in the classroom that may be new for you!

Students will get a number and record it in the circle. They will then fill in the blank spaces surrounding the number with numbers that come before and after their selected number.

All materials included.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about number riddles (numbers up to 100,000).

Some students need prompts to help them write mathematical expressions for target numbers. Climb the Ladder is an activity that prompts students to move from all addition or subtraction problems and include many mathematical topics to generate equivalent names.

This lesson discusses how to identify sets of numbers as natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and real numbers.

This activity is played in pairs and gives students practice reading numbers out loud and tracing them.

This site teaches Quantities to High Schoolers through a series of 116 questions and interactive activities aligned to 4 Common Core mathematics skills.

This site teaches The Complex Number System to High Schoolers through a series of 2195 questions and interactive activities aligned to 16 Common Core mathematics skills.

This site teaches The Real Number System to High Schoolers through a series of 1090 questions and interactive activities aligned to 8 Common Core mathematics skills.

This site teaches Vector and Matrix Quantities to High Schoolers through a series of 2195 questions and interactive activities aligned to 16 Common Core mathematics skills.

Students learn the connection between the counting sequence and experience from their daily lives in this daily activity. It also helps give students a sense of how "many" each number is.

This site offers short videos about numbers that help kids explore complex math topics and make math more fun.

This thematic unit from Comox Valley Schools (SD71) in B.C. is aimed at Grade 5 Core French students, but is suitable for younger grades and would be easily adaptable for older ones. It is focused on oral practice and participation and would also be useful in primary French Immersion classes!Content Authors: Comox Valley Schools, Learn71, Beth Peddle

This activity introduces the primary colors of light. Satellites transmit images to us as a series of numbers, and this activity is designed to show how numbers are combined to create images using the primary colors of light. Students work in groups to create different colors using flashlights with red, blue, and green theatrical gels. Students create a numerical code to represent colors of light, experiment with building colors using the code, and complete a color mixing table.

Numeracy is having the confidence and habits of mind to use mathematics to meet the general demands of everyday life. Being a numerate person means using mathematics to make sense of something new and know what mathematics can and cannot do.

Numeracy provides First Nations, Métis and Inuit students the opportunity to discover connections on their own and apply strategies to solve real life problems. Throughout history, First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples have used real life traditional learning contexts to connect to their world.

In the Empowering the Spirit video series, students explore numeracy through Traditional Games, an elementary math class on probability and a high school physics class examining the structure of a tee pee and rocket nozzle.

Numeracy Tasks are designed to have students interact with mathematics in a way that is meaningful to them and that strengthens their understanding of mathematics and numbers in the world.
Activities are sorted by the following categories:
Primary (k-3)
Intermediate (4-6)
Junior High School (7-9)
Senior High School (10-12)

This is an activity about the requirements of life. Learners will explore what living things need to survive and thrive by creating and caring for a garden plot (outdoors where appropriate) or a container garden (indoors) at the program facility. The garden will be used to beautify the facility with plant life with many planting and landscaping options provided. Children will consider the requirements of living things, compare the surface conditions on Mars to those found on Earth, view images/video of a NASA Astrobiology Institute "garden" where astrobiologists are studying life under extreme conditions, and consider the similarities and differences in the type of life that would be possible on Mars as compared to their garden on Earth. It also includes specific tips for effectively engaging girls in STEM. This is activity 3 in Explore: Life on Mars? that was developed specifically for use in libraries.

Science Background: Substances like Silly Putty are part of a class of materials called polymers. Like other molecules, polymers are compounds, but they are large and may contain tens of thousands of atoms. Compare this, for example, to water, a compound of hydrogen and oxygen that contains three atoms. A good way to visual the difference between small molecules (like water) and polymers (also called macromolecules) is to think of the size difference between a crystal of salt (small) and a strand of spaghetti (larger and longer). Like the strand of spaghetti, polymers are long chains of molecules strung together. These strands can also be tangled up to create a giant mess of polymer chains.
