This card task allows students to work with negative numbers in context and plot them on a number line - perfect for developing an understanding of place value through engaging scenarios.

Students will organise a group of cards into their contexts (money, temperature, historical year, or sea level) and plot these on to 4 number lines, before calculating the range of each data set

This activity also comes with a challenge to provoke higher order reasoning and develop mathematical thinking.
