HearBuilder Sequencing vs Number Line, by MLC

The award-winning, research and evidence-based software program is now an iPad app! Hearbuilder Sequencing includes the Sequencing Funhouse. First, click the door of the Sequencing Funhouse to practice sequencing activities. Then play a reward game in the arcade. Finally become a Sequencing Superstar! HearBuilder Sequencing features 120 illustrated sequences for targeting comprehension and critical thinking. Start out with simple 2-step sequences and gradually progress to 6 steps! Take a FREE tour and choose your level of play. If you have an online subscription to HearBuilder and a student login, you can access the entire program. HearBuilder Sequencing includes multiple levels of difficulty and 14 different settings variations to target the individual needs of each student. To play, students place events of an everyday activity in a logical order. All you have to do is: 1.Choose a task—either Sequence Stories or Sequence Instructions. 2.Then choose to Show Pictures, Play Audio, and/or Show Text—Turn any of the options on or off to change your treatment goals. 3.Set the range of steps in a sequence (2–6 steps). 4.Click Play Game and ask each student to place the cards in the correct order. When students complete a level with 80% accuracy, they will get to choose 1 of 4 games to play in the arcade. HearBuilder Sequencing allows you to: •Monitor progress and track data for an unlimited number of students. •Individualize each student program. •Set levels of difficulty for each activity. •Add background noise at any level and adjust the volume for each student. •Customize and print reports. •Analyze all responses.

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.
