Chalkboard Lesson: Number Line
We’ve been getting mucho mileage out of the hallway chalkboard. (Oh – and did you notice? My fabulous, wonderful husband built a frame around it for me?)
Nathan loves for me to draw pictures and he guesses what they are and then we sound out the words and he tells me what letters to write.
Today Abby and I did some of our math lesson at the chalkboard using a number line to add and subtract.

I drew a number line from 0 – 10 and then wrote several equations on the board and she had to figure out where to start and whether to go up or down the number line by observing if there was a plus or minus sign.
We also did some of this on paper but she enjoyed doing it on the chalkboard even more.
Then, we watched this silly little video:
I’m loving this teaching gig!
