Developing Number Sense Round Up

Over the last several weeks I have posted several lessons I use to teach number sense.  Here is a list with the links in case you missed one or two.

First I wrote about using a meter stick to teach students the relationships between fractions and decimals.  (I recently updated this post here.

I wrote a follow up post here about other concepts I teach using the meter stick as a model.

You can purchase 12 meter sticks from Amazon by clicking the affiliate link below.

 
 Next, I wrote about creating a Magnified Inch and using this as a model for fractions between 0 and 1. 

I followed that up with how I extend the lesson to include mixed numbers.  My students have placing mixed numbers on a number line and creating their own helped.

 I wrote two posts about having students create their own set of fraction bars.  The first week I showed halves, thirds, and fourths.  The next week I wrote about creating sixths, eighths, and twelfths.

Last week I asked the question, "Can Calculators Boost Number Sense?". I would love some discussion about this issue.
