Number Line Zoom
Use place value to plot multi-digit numbers on a number line.
- Apply place value to locate numbers on number lines from 0 to 1 million.
- Number lines show numbers of the largest place value, clicking between numbers zooms in to show the next place value.
- Levels begin with 4-digit numbers, then advance to 6-digit numbers.
Levels:
Lines of Symmetry
Find lines of symmetry that fold shapes into congruent halves.
- Develop concept and language for lines of symmetry.
- Find the line of symmetry for polygons.
- Levels begin with finding one line of symmetry, then advance to finding multiple lines of symmetry for a given shape.
Levels:
