The Disappearing Number Line

How’s the weather where you live? Ready for some water play and math fun?

A favorite outdoor activity of ours is playing The Disappearing Number Line. My son LOVES getting to spray the chalk away AND he’s building a ton of number sense by thinking about the relationships between numbers on the number line.

It couldn’t be simpler: I draw a number line from 0 to 10 in chalk. Then I call out a clue, he solves the clue, and sprays that number! All you need is some chalk and a spray bottle (or water balloons, hose—anything with water). Provide a set of counting bears or blocks for your child to use as a hands-on tool (when needed) for solving the clues.

Here are some clues to get you started:
