Was there value to the human number line besides variety? (Would it impact understanding at all?) Or is variety linked to student learning besides through engagement?

The active nature of the number line game gets students thinking on their feet which is more applicable to every day lfie than always answering at a desk. The excitement that games like the number line game bring gets me excited to become a math teacher! I totally agree about the usefulness of number lines too! In calculus I used them all the time for finding the maximum and minimum of functions, and seeing where the slope changed positively and negatively. Additionally, I remember using number lines for inequalities as well and I think, with a big gators mouth added in, could potentially be key for students to see inequalities on the number line as well.

Fast. Students need to have different methods and strategies for learning so that they are able to retain the information given to them. They need to be in charge of their own learning rather than being in a seat for 7 hours taking notes upon notes. The students don't know how crucial the math is at a young age because they don't think that it applies to them at the time being. Little do they know that they may in turn grow up to be mathematics teachers. By giving them these strategies the students will be allowing more information in for their futures without even realizing it.
