EYFS number line addition/subtraction

[hevs10593]

Advice please ..

Im teaching efys maths and my LO is adding/subtracting using a number line. I really need to challenge my more able but unsure how i can model this in my 'teacher input' while making it engaging?!

Also for my focused activitiy im going to make a large number line and take groups outside to 'walk the numberline' to add which will be okay for my less able but how do i make it more challenging for my more able!

im being observed too any help/ideas would be appreciated!!

Wow - sounds pretty challenging already! Would some unmarked divisions be appropriate stretch for your highers? Eg could their number line have only even numbers marked?

Use a bigger number line ie 0-20/30
Make their number lines in 2s so they have to count in twos (probably addition only no subtraction)

Challenge them to create their own number line using a rope, number cards and boxes of different resources. Provide a camera so they can take photographs of each part of the numberline so they can re-create it on a wall in a classroom later.

what about the adult led input? has anyone got any good powerpoints/resource ideas how i can model it?

i taught them yesterday and i under estimated the more ables big time and they were bored so their behaviour became disruptive as a result!! agghh!

Give them a real life problem to solve using NL, connected to the term's theme?
I have a big NL with numbers above my chair and apart from formal maths lessons refer to it all the time eg if we have x packed lunches and y hot dinners, how can we find out total (model counting on etc). I've found it has made a big difference.

forgot to add that the current theme is dinosaurs

Just found out that I have no interactive whiteboard for this lesson ..

Out of interest is this an interview lesson or is it with a class you know?
