In math, I'm trying to help my students with understanding number concepts. They understand whole numbers, but struggle with negative numbers, fractions, and decimals. I found an activity online and "tweeked" it.
I have been using this "Number Detectives" as a warm-up activity each day. I give each set of partners a sheet with a number already written in. For example, I will write in "0.41" or "-0.41" or "34.3%". Then, with a partner, the students have to find different ways to prove that number. It's been a great way for them to visualize the number, as well as prove what the number means.
Love this idea!
