New Game: Number Line Tag

While helping A with her homework tonight, and showing her a little bit of algebra (which kind of worked.)   I explained how a negative minus a negative number is even more negative.  She got really excited when she understood the concept, and came up with wanting to have a game where 2 sides would play tag with each other, one side being the positives and the other being the negatives.  I was really impressed with the connections and creativity she has, and I hope to work with her more to develop this game, which will fit perfectly in the “Body of Thought” curricula.  (In fact, I think having PE having more math in it is a great idea, which could help save PE in many schools, and because the brain uses 20% of the calories, doing thinking and exercise together is likely to burn more calories than exercise alone.)
