Ordering numbers (version 1.1)

What is it?

Ordering numbers is an interactive teaching program (ITP) which shows how a number line can be developed from a row of 10, 20 or 100 counters. It behaves like a short film. The film is in four stages. You can pause at the end of each stage. The ITP can be used to help children to understand how a number line relates to discrete object placed in a row and to support their counting and recording skills. Using the different sequences the number line image can be developed to increase the interval between numbers and to support addition and subtraction activities moving from the counters to the number line.
