🎯 Differentiation Support

For students needing extra support:

• Use a physical number line or number track
• Start with smaller numbers (0-10)
• Use counters or toys to move along the line

For advanced learners:

• Try negative numbers on your number line
• Create number lines that count by 2s, 5s, or 10s
• Use number lines for addition and multiplication

Dyslexia-friendly options:

• Ask a friend to read questions aloud
• Use coloured pencils to mark your number line
• Draw pictures or symbols instead of writing long answers

Dyscalculia Support Strategies:

• Use visual aids like colored number lines or charts to illustrate concepts
• Provide step-by-step instructions for each task
• Incorporate manipulatives (like blocks or counters) to visualize number placement
• Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps to avoid overwhelming students
