This resource was a great way for my students to work in groups and order the numbers. Groups would travel around the room to help other groups make sure their number lines were in the correct order as well.

I used this as a review for 8th grade intervention students before we began our unit on Real Numbers. It was so much fun watching them try to get in order from least to greatest and they were pulling out calculators unprompted to convert numbers into the same forms!

My students were engaged doing this activity. They were able to "talk out" why the order of cards should be arranged in the order they did while others disagreed. They needed to show their thinking using a whiteboard. Happy with my purchase!
