Q. I'd like to show my students this video but my school blocks TH-cam videos. Where else can I watch this video to work around this problem?
A. You can watch this video here; ad-free and child-safe:
numberock.com/...
Rob is back riding his bike as he learns about adding and subtracting on the number line to measure his distance. His friends Lindsey and Suzy then come along to help show Rob how to find sums and differences, and finally describe that the equals spaces on a number line can be called intervals. The group of friends ends their lesson by sitting underneath the lights of the Milky Way and see a magical message appear before their very eyes... watch to find out what it says!
Q. What grade levels do this video target?
A. This video targets learning standards in 1st Grade and 2nd Grade. This video also targets standards in the UK from KS1 (Year 2) to KS2 (Year 3).
Q. Where did you guys come from?
A. Numberock is a project that I, Mr. Hehn, began as a 5th Grade math teacher of 7 years. It came together after years of experimenting with my lessons trying to figure out the best way to help my students retain the math concepts they were learning.
Q. Does Numberock drive real results in the classroom?
A. I knew I found the secret sauce when not only were my students retaining the concepts longer, they were singing the songs outside of the classroom during recess and at home with their parents during dinnertime. The songs were so catchy, my students couldn't get the math songs out of their head!
During testing, I often found my students humming the melodies in order to jostle their memory of a rule or problem solving process. As we've all experienced, there is something about the power of music that allows us to retain information easier and for longer periods of time. Without getting into the finer details of multi-sensory learning and how it often helps the students who most need the help, the power of a catchy song is hard to deny.
Q. I love your songs. Where can I experience more of what NUMBEROCK has to offer?
A. Make sure to check out our additional teaching resources over on our website at numberock.com.

Coming Soon:
1. Number Notes | Were currently working on creating exercises where students will be able to take notes artistically on printable templates featuring characters from the videos.
Research has shown that this will help to integrate their artistic side side of the student's brain with the mathematical side of their brain which helps with long-term memory retention. Our own research has shown us that teacher's who use start using these templates love them! It seems to be a natural fit as we move beyond our unique auditory learning tools into visual learning tools, that when used in concert, cater to the different types of learners that you teach everyday.
Hope to see you at numberock.com!
