Teacher TipThere are three versions of this activity: the first covers several years and helps students understand the historical context of 9/11 and exercises student number sense. The second focused just on the events of that day, and helps students to use logical reasoning to put them in order. The final event is another number sense activity, and focuses on the events of the day.
