Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a warm-up or pre-lesson in a 20-30 minute block, previewing terms before a larger number line or integer unit.
- Discussion question: Why is 0 an integer but not a positive or negative number, and where does 3/4 fall on the number line compared to 2?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: have students match each term to its visual first, then read the English and Spanish definitions aloud in pairs before completing the vocabulary items.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to place -0.5, 3/4, and 2 on a number line from -2 to 2 and explain why each is a rational number even though not all are integers.
- Estimated time: about 25 minutes for the vocabulary review and number line practice, plus 5 minutes for discussion.
