Number Lines

This is a number ordering activity Mr.R completed.  

He ordered the numbers 1-20  going forwards and going backwards.  

What was really interesting was that he decided to place all the cards with the words up (not numerals up).  When he started searching for the next number he had to search by reading the number words.  He made the task more challenging for himself and enjoyed it.  

When I think about it, it is perfectly natural for children to want to learn.  The way that they learn is enjoyable for them.  This was a learning experience for me!  I really, really hope that I don’t dampen his eagerness to learn.

Thanks for the lesson Mr. R  ♥
