DIY Easy Number Line Craft

Posted byMaMaDuCkPosted inHomeschoolTags:, , , , , ,

Our little learners have been very interested in numbers and how they relate to each other in equations. They have been adding and subtracting small numbers for several months. I happened upon cute character workbooks in the local dollar store and they LOVE them!

One page has a number line at the top for easy reference and I found them going back to that page for the number line. I drew one on the wall…er….chalkboard but it was difficult because they would have to keep getting up and down to use it.

LIGHTBULB!

We were due for a craft and our supplies have overflowed out of their designated homes so:
