TpT Number Line Freebies

Since everything I seem to be posting lately deals with Number Lines, I thought I would continue the theme with a few Teachers Pay Teachers Freebies that focus on understanding and using number lines.

Number Path/Sequencing
Counting Flip Chart has children count how many items are on the page and then circle the corresponding number on a Number Path.

Help children identify missing numbers along a number line by using this Number Line Scoot Activity.


Addition
Check out this Out of This World number line game that uses addition and subtraction of numbers.  Includes a variation with negative numbers.

This fall themed Double Digit Addition activity gives students the freedom to show their own strategy on the open number line.


Rounding
Rounding to the nearest 10 or 100 can be a difficult concept for students, but using a number line gives them a visual representation that makes it easier to understand.  Check out this great Rounding With a Number Line activity and practice/homework sheets.


Multiplication
Download this simple, yet powerful Multiplication Strategies Anchor Chart.


Fractions
Number Line Lane is a nice activity to help kids use benchmark numbers when placing fractions on a number line.

Get your students up and moving as they build a fraction number line in Fraction Number Line Challenge.

Okay, so this one isn't a free one, but since it is Thanksgiving time I thought I'd share these Turkey Subitizing Cards.

Thanksgiving Math Read-A-Loud

Counting books are a quick fun way to bring reading and math together.  This month's Math Read-A-Loud is a quick read and can be done when you have a few spare minutes before your next activity.  Five Silly Turkeys counts down from five as the turkeys do silly things that make them disappear from the scene.  You can have the students count down along a Number Path as each turkey leaves the scene.  Or as you read the book, have the kids show the number of turkeys using the fingers on one hand.  The book tells the kids how many turkeys are left, as will the number of fingers they still have up on their hand, but have conversations as you go through the book about how many turkeys are gone from the original group.  If they have their fingers up on one hand, the fingers that are "down" on that hand show how many turkeys are gone.

Additional Activities:

• Build paper turkeys...have each child roll three dice, the sum of which determines how many paper feathers to add to their turkeys.
• Use these Turkey Subitizing Cards and have the kids find a card that shows how many turkeys are left in each scene.
• Build math into snack time!  Have the kids build these cute Cupcake Turkeys by having them count out the number of feathers, eyes, nose, and feet candies they will need for their cupcake (pre-ice them for the kiddos). 
• Create paper turkeys and write a number on the breast of the turkey.  Then each feather is a fact that equals that amount.  For example, the 7 turkey would have feathers with 0+7, 1+6, 2+5, and 3+4 written on them.  For younger kiddos, have them stamp or attach dot stickers in different arrangements on each feather that total the number on the turkey.  Here is an example from Crazy for First Grade:
