Activity Suggestions

Activity Recommendations

Activity 1 - 🎮 Adventure on the Number Line

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: To enhance understanding of natural numbers and their placement on the number line through a fun and interactive activity using digital technology.

- Deskripsi Activity: In this activity, students become characters in a digital adventure. They will tackle a series of math challenges in an online game based on the number line. The objective is to help the main character navigate a magical world, overcoming obstacles that require placing natural numbers correctly on the line.

- Instructions:

  • Split students into groups of up to 5 and have each group access the online game 'Adventure on the Number Line' on their phones or computers.

  • Each group will register in the game and select an avatar to represent them.

  • Explain that the goal of the game is to complete missions using the number line to correctly position the natural numbers.

  • Each game mission will include a math challenge, such as organizing numbers in ascending order, spotting gaps on the number line, or solving addition/subtraction problems using the line.

  • As students participate, walk around the room to offer support and make sure everyone understands the instructions and is engaged.

  • Once the game wraps up, ask each group to share their key strategies and the obstacles they faced.

Activity 2 - 📱 Instagram of Natural Numbers

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: To spark students' creativity while deepening their understanding of natural numbers and their placement on the number line utilizing a fictional social media platform.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will create a fictional Instagram account for a 'natural number influencer'. Each group selects a natural number to represent and creates posts, stories, and interactions with other 'influencers' in the classroom. Posts should emphasize the number's position on the number line and its relationship to other numbers.

- Instructions:

  • Split students into groups of up to 5 and suggest they choose a natural number to be their group's 'influencer'.

  • Each group should design a fictional profile for their number using Canva or another graphic design app, mimicking an Instagram profile.

  • Guide students to create posts and stories about their number, showcasing its position on the number line, interesting facts, and interactions with other numbers (collaborative posts).

  • Have them save their designs in a shared cloud folder (like Google Drive) so everyone can view and comment on each other's work.

  • In the end, allow each group to present their profile and explain how their number connects with other natural numbers on the line.

Activity 3 - 🔢 Math TikTok: Number Line Challenges

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: To boost understanding of natural numbers and the number line through the creation of digital content, fostering collaboration and communication among students.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will create short videos on TikTok that explain concepts related to natural numbers and the number line. Each group will devise and record a math challenge, prompting other groups to solve it and respond in the comments.

- Instructions:

  • Split students into groups of up to 5 and ask each group to draft a script for a short TikTok video about a topic related to the number line and natural numbers.

  • The scripts should include a clear explanation of the concept, an example, and a challenge for other groups to tackle.

  • Students will use their phones to film and edit their videos, taking advantage of TikTok's filters and effects to enhance engagement.

  • Have groups upload their challenges on a secure video-sharing platform, like Google Drive or Flipgrid.

  • Groups will watch each other's videos and respond to the challenges in the comments, explaining how they solved the problems.
