Clothesline Math

After spending time talking about launching math workshop last week, I thought it would be helpful to share a site that will provide you with some engaging hands-on math stations & number talks!  Here it is!   

Clothesline Math!

Clothesline Math is a simple way to get some number sense practice every day!  The number line is a manipulative resource for teachers to model new learning and for students to practice that new learning in centers.  Students will have benchmark numbers to organize on the clothesline.  Discussions will naturally begin in small groups.

Daniel Kaufmann and Kris McCaffery have put together amazing math resources for teachers!  Be sure to check out the resource tab.  It is filled with FREE resources for you to use with your students!


Clothesline Math is broken up into grade levels.  Each grade level is broken up into skills with a Google link to follow for resources.

I love this simple idea and I you all can find ways to spin it in lots of different directions.  Like making words or retelling a story!
