Part of the Indoor Recess Games CFS Bundle Practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts to 9 while moving your runner around the bases. Players set the facts to practice and the operation to use. Adjust the operation and facts to practice for each player separately. Have a younger or older brother or sister? Are you a 4th grader helping a 1st grader at school? One of you play using addition sums to 5 and the other practice multiplication with factors 5-9. Select your practice problems within these parameters: • Addition: Sums to 5; Sums 5 to 10; Sums 10 to 20; and, Sums 20 to 50 • Subtraction: Minuends to 5; Minuends 5 to 10; Minuends 10 to 20; and, Minuends 20 to 50 • Multiplication & Division are based on: Multiplication Factors 1 to 5; Factors 5 to 9; Factors 6 to 12; and, Factors 1 to 12 Hits are adjusted separately for each player based on the facts you are using in the game. For an added challenge, turn on the timer! The time adjusts from 1 to 5 seconds.

Number Line helps students visualize number sequences and demonstrate strategies for counting, comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. Choose number lines labelled with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, or negative numbers. Or use a blank number line, with or without tick marks. Describe intervals between points on the line using forward or backward jumps above and below the line. Jumps can be labelled with their values or left blank. Add custom tick marks to the number line to show equivalence or compare number values. Show strategies with drawing and annotation tools. Hide elements of the sequence shown on the number line, which challenges students to use what they know about number relationships and computation to identify those missing elements. This virtual number line is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments that use iPads. For more Number Line resources and other apps, visit: www.mathlearningcenter.org/apps FEATURES • Mark the number line with multiples of whole numbers, fractions, or decimals. In addition, set the starting value of the line, including using negative values. • Add and manipulate forward and backward jumps, above or below the line. • Label jump bars, manually or automatically, to show intervals or hide labels altogether. • Add custom tick marks and values to blank number lines. • Hide and reveal numbers on the number line. • Hide and reveal jumps, numbers, and other elements with resizable covers to create your own problems and model strategies. • Use the drawing tools to annotate work and show understanding. • Add equations, expressions, and descriptions with the math text and writing tools. • Share your work by saving an image or providing a share code to others.
