I've seen several ideas that have movement built in to the activity but most of the activities require me to create a number line or grid using tape. I have a room that is mostly carpet except for a small area next to the door which is tile.
I can do number lines on the tiled part but I end up making the units much smaller and its hard to do a good number line students can stand on. So I need to find out what type of tape would work well on carpeting. It needs to come off easily and not leave any residue. I'm thinking maybe painters tape but I don't know. I've got a trip planned to the hardware store in May to get their advice.
I can use the tape to set up a grid system around my desks so I can use movement to teach:
1. Slope
2. Linear equations - finding a line from the two points, finding the equation from the line, etc.
3. Solving systems of equations.
4. Learning the coordinate system.
5. A number line for positive and negative numbers, adding and subtracting signed numbers.
6. Visual representations of percents, decimals, fractions, etc.
7. Matrices.
8. Polygons - area, perimeter, internal angles, external angles.
9. Similar and congruent Triangles.
10. Solving certain types of equations.
So I need a tape I can put down and take up as needed that will not hurt my carpet. I want to do more of this type of activity in my class so I keep students interested and focused.
