Woodpeckers Maths – Number lines.

Today in Woodpeckers, we have used our previous learning of comparing and ordering numbers to help us place numbers on different number lines and also help us create our own.

To begin with, we looked at what a number line is, what they look like and how they can differ. Then, we had a go at placing numbers on different number lines, using our estimating skills when trying to figure out where some numbers should go. After this, we looked at number lines that were blank, and learned how to work out what each interval jump is worth to help us then place numbers onto them. We finished the lesson by creating our own number lines, which we used to get our buddies to place or estimate where different numbers should go along them.
