Number Path Freebie

September 5, 2018 by Amber Masters

Hi Friends!

Yesterday I posted a picture of our number paths on my Instagram page and have been getting lots of questions about them! I’m going to keep this short, and to the point. I learned recently that number lines may not be the best tool for some of our younger learners. Number lines can be confusing for some students, as they are based on a length model.  A number path is a counting model. It allows students to see each number as a quantity because it has a rectangle around it that students can physically count. This doesn’t mean that number lines are bad and that you shouldn’t use them. This is just another tool to that you might find to be more appropriate for some of your learners!

Click the the photo or HERE to download your FREE number paths.

Teachers love summer projects! ☀️🔨 This on Teachers love summer projects! ☀️🔨

This one, however, will for sure be running well into the school year. 😂🏡

After years of looking for land, designing our home, clearing the property, and then making more changes to the house plans (because apparently we weren’t done making decisions 😂), we’re excited to say… WE BROKE GROUND! 🚜🎉

We’re so excited for the journey ahead and plan to enjoy the ride! 🏡🤍✨

Swipe to see some of the progress over the past 3.5 years with our land! 🩷

🔥✨ It’s been one week and I’m still smili 🔥✨ It’s been one week and I’m still smiling from my first-ever Campfire at FlyingHorseFarms!

Flying Horse Farms is this magical camp in Central Ohio, where kids with serious illnesses get to just be kids — to laugh, play, and make memories that heal in ways medicine can’t. 🏕️✨

Camp isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. A reminder that when all kids get to be kids, the world shines a little brighter. 🩷

Seeing that magic up close reminded me how powerful community can be when we come together. 🫶🏻

But here’s the best part: camp is 100% free for every family — all thanks to incredible volunteers and donors who make the magic possible. 🙌

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get involved… this is it. ✨
Join me and be a part of something truly amazing! 

💚 Volunteer: Be the reason a camper smiles! 

💚 Donate: Every dollar keeps campfires glowing and hearts healing.
