Grade Level(s): 2nd Grade

Content Area:                                                                        Process Area:
Numbers and Operations                                           Problem-Solving
Algebra                                                           Reasoning and Proof
Geometry                                                                    Communication
Measurement                                                             Representation
Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability                    Connections

Common Core Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1 Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
·         CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1.A 100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens — called a "hundred."
·         CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1.B The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).

Targeted Needs of Student:
Reviewing or assessing number lines, place value, moving a decimal, introducing thousands, hundreds, and millions place, kinesthetic way of learning about number lines, addition, subtraction

Goal:
Providing students with understanding of place value, moving a decimal, and number lines

Materials Needed:


1.      Painter’s tape
2.      Ball of some sort
3.      Number cards to place on children standing at the front



Explanation/Summary:
Students will stand up at the front of the classroom and each student will represent a number (they will have a number attached to their shirt for the rest of the class to see). Before the students complete the activity, the teacher will construct a number line out of painter’s tape on the floor. The decimal point will be represented by a ball (can be a dodgeball, soccerball, etc.) The teacher can move the decimal around on the human number line and can have the students read what the number is, ask certain students to say what place value they represent or ask what a classmate represents. Great for assessing the class to see what they know.
