An online set of four yummy questions addresses number sense for sixth graders. They place points on a number line, determine relative values, interpret absolute value, and apply their understanding to the weighing of cakes for a bakery. In addition to dragging points to a number line, questions are answered by multiple choice selections. Immediate feedback is provided, and the scoring page can be printed out and turned in for your evaluation.
