(View Complete Item Description)

This google slide show will be used by grade 1 teachers with their students as a numeracy routine. In this routine, "Close, Far, In Between" from Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics, Van de Walle focuses on number sense development and relative magnitude. Relative magnitude refers to the size relationship one number has with another. Three numbers are displayed for students to consider. These can be written on the board, chart paper, or shown using the document camera. Teachers display three numbers then ask a variety of questions prompting students to think about relative magnitude and build a more sophisticated understanding of our number system.
