<br>Number sense is defined as an intuitive feel for numbers and a common sense approach to using them. It is a comfort with what numbers represent, coming from investigating their characteristics and using them in diverse situations. and how they can best be used odescribe a particular situation. Number sense is an attribute of all successful users of mathematics. Our students often do not connect what is happening in their mathematics classrooms with their daily lives. It is essential that the mathematics curriculum build on the sense of number that students bring with them to school. Problems and numbers which arise in the context of the students world are more meaningful to  students than traditional textbook exercises and help them develop their sense of how numbers and operations are used. Frequent use of estimation and mental computation are also important ingredients in the development of number sense, as are regular opportunities for student communication. Discussion of their own invented strategies for problem solutions helps students strengthen their intuitive understanding of numbers and the relationships between numbers.<br><br>

In summary, the commitment to develop number sense requires a dramatic shift in the way students learn mathematics. Our students will only develop strong number sense to the extent that their teachers encourage the understanding of mathematics as opposed to the memorization of rules and mechanical application of algorithms. Every child has the capability to succeed as a user of mathematics, but the degree of success is directly related to the strength of their number sense. The way to assure that all students acquire a good sense of numbers is to have them consistently engage in activities which require them to think about numbers and number relationships and to make the connection with quantitative information encountered in their daily lives. <br><br>

== How a teacher can use this resource ==
  −
A mathematics teacher focuses on classroom activities and strategies for grades 8-12, deepening mathematical understanding, and linking resource  to practice.The Resource explains the language of numbers. and can be used for Teacher Resources or Student Projects.Always it is a great challenge for a Maths teacher to build the basic concept of number when a child enters high school. So teacher has to bridge the gap with the basics which a child may lack. High school students should extend their meaning of number to the real number system and recognize that still other number systems exist. They should have the opportunity to develop intuitive proofs of the fundamental properties of closure, commutativity, associativity, and distributivity. One way to achieve such an understanding in the classroom is through the identification and description of number patterns and the use of pattern-based thinking .Activities promoting pattern-based thinking can assist students in making similar generalizations about other number forms and their relationships, as well as build initial notions of still other types of important number concepts such as odd and even, prime  numbers, and factors and multiples.

This unit on number systems is in three parts.  The first part will be to develop in children a sense of numbers, the idea of quantity, counting and mathematical manipulation, collections of quantities and developing a unit of measure.  The second would be to develop the ideas of the negative numbers and build an understanding based on the manipulations of numbers.  The third part would be to introduce the number line as a continuum and to introduce ideas of fractions and rational numbers.While this is for classes 7and 8, we understand that students may come with very limited sense of the numbers.  So the activities are designed in such a way as to help such students also.

Extend the pattern above. By simple pattern evaluation we see it is 3, 6 and 9.  We have shown the number line above.  It makes sense logically that the next number is 3 and that it becomes positive.

Yet another way of explaining could be like this.

==Part III: The number line in mathematics==
 
The number line is not just a school object. It is as much a mathematical idea as functions.  
 
The number line is not just a school object. It is as much a mathematical idea as functions.  
 
The number line is a geometric “model” of all numbers -- including 0 1, 2, 25, 374 trillion, and -5, Unlike counters, which model only counters, the number line models measurement, which is why it must start with zero. (When we count, the first object we touch is called "one." When we measur using a ruler, we line one end of the object we’re measuring against the zero mark on the ruler. <br>

Line 183: Line 187:  
One reason to use this mathematical object with students is that they need to see arithmetic in both contexts: counting and measuring. At the beginning, children may sometimes use the number line to find answers to arithmetic problems (e.g., figuring out what 3 + 10 is, before that becomes automatic to them) but that is never its purpose. We don’t rely on the number line for getting answers -- for that, we want the children to know basic facts and methods and use their heads -- but we do use the number line to understand things about the operation (addition and subtraction) and to understand what the answers mean.

For example, the answer to the subtraction problem 92 – 49 is the distance between those two numbers on the number line. That image can greatly help mental computation: 49 to 50 is one step, 50 to 90 is another forty steps, and 90 to 92 is another two steps, so altogether 43 steps. (See number line addition and subtraction below.) It also makes arithmetic with negetive numbers which has been already discussed. And the number line is essential for full understanding of fractions and decimals. In fact, a ruler (a number line!) is one of the important places students encounter and need to use fractions. <br>

Number lines are first used just to show sequence—numbers standing on line in order! At this stage, neither the straightness of the line nor the distance between numbers is mathematically important, though our images are always standard anyway.  Children will look at chunks of the line, not always starting at 1, and will work forwards or backwards from some number that is placed on the line. They are learning about sequence and order, and that develops somewhat independently from counting.  <br>

Students also learn about intervals on the number line, but just begin that process.  Kids used to gain the interval idea (in a slightly different form) from their experience playing board games. They knew that when they rolled a 5, they had to count their five spaces beginning with the next space. That is, they were counting moves, not positions.  Measurement depends on it. Addition and subtraction with counters does not depend on it, but those operations on the number line do depend on it. <br>

'''Discussion'''<br>
What does the box mean in this equation?  
+
We could say we just keep going from 5 up to 15, so we wrote 5 + box equals 15. What does the box mean in this equation? The students may say it means part you have to figure out. It’s where you write the answer. It’s like the problem you have to solve. 5 plus how many more to get to 15? <br>
Students It means the part you have to figure out.  
+
Another interpretation is that it is like you’re finding out how far you have to go backwards to get down to 5. This is the idea that subtraction is the inverse process of addition.  <br><br>
It’s where you write the answer.  
+
After taking students’ ideas, it is possible to introduce number lines as a new tool for solving problems like these. Number line can be drawn as a horizontal line across the board. Include an arrow on either end to show that the number line continues indefinitely in both directions. Record the smaller number (5) by marking and labeling a dot on the far left side. Then propose to move along the number line by hops greater than 1 to find the difference between 5 and 15. <br><br>
It’s like the problem you have to solve. 5 plus how many more to get to 15?  
+
This discussion can be extended with the following question.  What if Ram  and his dad drive 2 more kms? How far will they be then? This can also be shown on the number line. What if they drove 3 more kms after that? How far would they be? The students should be able to say they are upto 10 miles!  
On that other one, it’s like you’re finding out how far you have to go backwards to get down to 5.  
+
They have gone 5 miles after the 5 because 2+3=5 and it is possible to know how many more miles they have to go to get to 15!

'''How to do the activity(addition)'''<br>
 +
Tell the students that they will find sums using the number line model. Then display a large number line and a 5+4 pencils , that is, a pencil with 5 spots on the left side and 4 spots on the right. Then demonstrate with a counter how a hop of 5 is taken on the number line. You may wish to encourage students to count aloud as the hop is made. Then make a hop of 4, starting at the place the counter landed. You might choose to have them record what happened using the equation notation 5 + 4 = 9, or to informally describe the moves this way: “If you take a hop of 5 spaces and then a hop of 4 spaces, you land on 9.” You may wish to highlight the fact that in this model, spaces are counted, not points on the number line.<br>
 +
'''Questions for discussion'''
 +
*Which number did you land on when you made a 5-hop, then a 3-hop? Could you land on the same number if you took a 3-hop first, then a 5-hop? How do you know?
 +
The answers could be yes [ 5 + 3 = 8, and 3 + 5 = 8.].  Laws of computation can be introduced.<br>
 +
*What sums did you model with hops? How did you record them? [Student responses will depend upon the "hops" they performed.]<br>
 +
*Were any of the sums the same? Why? [Student responses will depend upon the "hops" they performed.]<br>
 +
*How would you find the sum of 2 and 5? [Make a hop of 2, and then a hop of 5, to reach 7.]
 +
*How would you tell a friend to add on the number line? <br>
 +
*How is using a number line like measuring? How is it different?<br>
 +
*Which students counted as they took hops and which moved directly to the number? <br>
 +
'''Questions for teacher reflection'''
 +
*Which students had trouble using the number line? What instructional experiences do they need next? <br>
 +
*Did any children notice a connection with measurement? <br>

'''Activity : Understanding numbers, properties through number line'''<br>
 +
'''Time duration: 60 minutes'''<br>
 +
'''Materials required: paper ,pencils/sketch pens'''<br>
 +
'''Objectives:'''<br>
 +
1. Understanding what is a number line<br>
 +
2. Understanding properties(behaviour) of positive and negative numbers through number line<br>
 +
3. Understanding  number sentences /operations of numbers on the basis properties of numbers.<br>
 +
4. Compare numbers/ordering numbers<br>
 +
Pre-requisites:<br>
 +
Students know about numbers,Numbers are continuous, counting, quantities for ex: difference between 2 books,2 kgs of apples or 2 litres of milk,2 mts .....<br>
 +
'''Note for the teachers :'''<br>
 +
Please emphasise that positive numbers increase the quantities and negative numbers decreases the quantity(amount)<br>
 +
'''Procedure:'''<br>
 +
[[File:Number line activity.png|200px]]<br>
 +
'''Step 1'''<br>
 +
Ask boys to write positive number  and girls to write negative numbers on a sheet of paper. Each one should write one number. Instruct them to arrange the numbers in order on the floor.
 +
Now ask boy and girl to come one after other to keep the number which they have written .
 +
Suppose the first boy comes and keeps +5 then call other girl ask her to keep her number .
 +
She can keep it anywhere she wants (imagine she has -7 on her sheet)
 +
But the real fun starts when the third one(boy) will come(imagine he has +10 on his sheet)
 +
You have to help him to keep the number in a proper order  as he will have a positive number you should  guide him where he should keep it and why?<br>
 +
+5<br>
 +
-7<br>
 +
 
 +
If the numbers are kept as above where +10 should be placed?why?<br>
 +
For this we need to explain  +5 has  property of increasing  the quantity by 5<br>
 +
whereas -7 has a property of decreasing the quantity by -7,(+5 is more than -7) so where should be place for +10 <br>.
 +
+10 has a nature of increasing the quantity more than what +5 does .so keep it above +5.<br>
 +
(+10 is more than +5)<br>
 +
 
 +
+10<br>
 +
+5<br>
 +
-7<br>
 +
 
 +
If the next girl comes with -4 ,where she should keep it?<br>
 +
Repeat the developmental questions like <br>   
 +
What is the behaviour of  -7 and -4 <br>
 +
(-7 decrease the quantity by 7 where as -4 decrease any quantity just by 4)<br>
 +
Try to extract from them that -4 is more than -7.<br>
 +
 
 +
Continued pattern will be <br> 
 +
+10<br>
 +
+5<br>
 +
-4<br>
 +
-7<br>
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Place all the numbers what they have written on the sheet.<br>
 +
'''Step:2'''<br>
 +
Ask them <br>
 +
Is there any number missed in between?<br>
 +
If the answer is yes  ask them again to write the missed numbers and repeat the activity by placing those numbers in a right place, which completes the number line. Now explain number line is a model for representing numbers .<br>
 +
 
 +
Now the number pattern will look like this after filling the gaps<br>
 +
 
 +
-9<br>
 +
-8<br>
 +
-7<br>
 +
-6<br>
 +
-5<br>
 +
-4<br>               
 +
-3<br>
 +
-2<br>
 +
-1<br>
 +
0<br>
 +
+1<br>
 +
+2<br>
 +
+3<br>
 +
+4<br>
 +
+5<br>
 +
+6<br>
 +
+7<br>
 +
+8<br>
 +
+9  (You can also ask which is the last number?) The number arrangement need not be horizontal<br>
 +
       
 +
'''Step:3'''<br>
 +
Now write some number sentences as below .Help them to interpret the  sentences.<br>
 +
 
 +
4+(+3)=+7<br> 
 +
The value of 4 increased to  +7 when it is added to +3  (+3 increases the value of 4 by how much?)<br>
 +
4+(-3)=+1<br>
 +
The value of 4 decreased to  +1when it is added to -3  (-3 decreases the value of 4 by how much?)<br>
 +
-4+(+3)=-1<br>
 +
The value of -4 increased to  +7 when it is added to +3  (+3 increases the value of 4 by how much?)<br>
 +
-4+(-3)=-7<br>
 +
Help them to interpret the above sentences.<br>
 +
Give some examples to verify the resuts like<br>
 +
 
 +
-4+(-3)=-1 <br>
 +
Do  they able to check value of -4 should decrease by 3.But resultant value -1 is greater than -4<br>
 +
So this is a wrong statement.Askthem to correct it.<br>
 +
 
 +
Prepare worksheets for practise.<br>

On the overhead projector or chalkboard, display a large number line and demonstrate with a counter how hops of 5 can be taken on the number line. You may wish to encourage students to count aloud as the hops are made. You might choose to introduce the equation notation 4 × 5 = 20, informally reading it as "Four hops of 5, and you land on 20." After several examples with 5 as a factor, ask the students to determine what size hop to use next. Encourage the students to predict the products and to verify their predictions by moving a counter on the large numberline. You may wish to provide children with a counter and individual number lines at their desks.

A discontinuous whole is a group of items that together make up the whole. To find a fraction part of such a whole, we can divide it up into groups, each with the same number of items. We call such groups "equal-sized groups" or "groups of equal size". It is important that we always mention thathe groups are equal in size to emphasise this aspect of the fraction parts of a whole. Examples of discontinuous wholes are: 15 oranges, 6 biscuits, 27 counters, 4 new pencils, etc.
