Pirate Squeeze

My 1st grade teaching partner just introduced me to "Monster Squeeze",  a number order game she had downloaded from Teachers Notebook created by Over the MoonBow. Of course, I downloaded it myself to use with my "firsties". What a fun way to help students acquire number sense.

But before long, I know I will need to go beyond 30,  and extend that number line all the way to 100 to meet the standards for 1st grade. So, I got right to work and transformed those "monsters" into pirates to fit my classroom theme. Then, I created a number line all the way to 100.  Finally,  I  added the directions and a treasure box to mark the final answer... and away we go!

Enjoy!

    I just found your blog myself today and must say that I LOVE IT!! I teach kindergarten, but can definitely use some of your fantastic downloads. I too use the beanie baby strategies, but I love your posters more than the ones that I have. Thanks so very much for making them a free download! I can't wait to come back as a regular blog viewer :)
