Number Framework Stages7 and 8
Activity
Write the table of long-jump distances on the board or modelling book. Ask who wins. Continue listing the distances from largest to smallest.
Repeat ordering numbers with the lists in the table. The third list is particularly taxing as it requires the
students to realise that, to order a set of very similar numbers, they must search systematically starting at the left-hand end of each number.
