Integers positive and negative.
Physical movement along a number line engages embodied cognition — the brain's tendency to use body movement as an anchor for abstract concepts. Students who walk negative integers on a floor line make significantly fewer sign errors in calculations than those who only draw number lines.
1. Draw line -10 to +10. 2. Mark -3. 3. Add +5. 4. Find result. 5. Try 5 operations.
