LO: To find the difference between positive and negative numbers, using a number line.
This is a fantastic outdoor lesson, which gives the children the opportunity to move around and have fun with maths. It's a gentle way to ease children into a negative numbers topic, ideally, once they have had a chance to demonstrate their pre-knowledge and understanding of negative numbers, in real life contexts.
The lesson:
Essentially they will go outside with boldly printed numbers on sheets (from -14 to 14 if you have a class of 30) and arrange themselves into a human number line.
Take a clear photo of the class and insert the photo into the frame.
The children then answer ten questions in which they give the number and the name of the class member holding that number.
Go through the answers to the questions as a class (question 10 will act as a great discussion point!)
