I just found your blog via Division by Zero. I was wondering what ages your kids were or probably a better question- what age/ability level most of the activities your talk about fall within. and hope you're feeling better :) Thanks, Alycia Greetings.

Using bananas to illustrate the meaning of not only the whole numbers but also the fractional numbers on the numberline. I can imagine possibly using banana peels for the negative numbers.

I really have to stop myself from doing that when tutoring. It’s so hard not to give away the answer. I really have to stop myself from doing that when tutoring.

But the order that A connected them in is a BIG hint. Connect rectangle 1 to triangle 1. You can do this with a straight line. Then connect rectangle 3 to triangle 3. This will not be a straight line. You will have to loop down around triangle 1. Finally connect rectangle 2 to triangle 2. This will be a very serpentine line. First you will have to go down around triangle 1 then loop all the way around triangle 3 before coming back to triangle 2. Good luck! Maybe I’ll upload an image of the solution sometime.
