Numbers Recovered

Grade Levels: K to 3

Students help Max, the Numbers Detective, find stolen numbers, strengthening number sense as they develop skills in number representations, inequalities, order relationships, place value, standard and expanded notation as well as data analysis.

Max, the Numbers Detective, is back! Students help max find the stolen numbers, and strengthen their number sense as they:

• Recognize, compare, and sort equivalent number representations in Sorting Sleuths.
• Identify inequalities and order relationships using “greater than,” “less than,” and “equal to” symbols in Comparison Capers.
• Understand place value, and use standard and expanded notation in Puzzling Place Values.
• Organize, represent, and interpret data with pictographs and bar graphs, and solve word problems based on data in Graphing Gumshoes.
  

As students successfully complete activities in the four skill areas, they collect clues that unlock the door leading to missing numbers. With three levels of play for each activity, your students have the opportunity to work through the basic concepts to more complex problems. Students can save games for future play.

Numbers Recovered can be easily modified to meet the individual needs of students. Teachers can set numbers of rounds of play and the difficulty level for each activity. The teacher’s guide contains useful extension activities.
