I have not actually thought about magnitude before. The opening number line really opened my eyes on how perspective and understanding on magnitude can make a difference. Someone above mentioned how they like how you can start with smaller numbers and once students have a good understanding you can expand the same thinking to larger numbers. Like my students I sometimes have trouble generalizing what I am learning. But reading the other teachers comments helped me to see how I could bring this into my classroom.
