Features

  • Sized for A4 paper, a line more on each page
  • Blank number lines with 10 and 20 spaces
  • Labelled number lines from 0 to 10, 0 to 20 and 0 to 100
  • Fraction number lines from halves to twelfths, lined up
  • Negative numbers from -10 to 10, and decimals in tenths

Skills Covered

  • Count on and back with jumps on a number line
  • Add and subtract within 20 and within 100
  • Place numbers on a blank number line
  • Place fractions between 0 and 1 and see equal fractions line up
  • Place negative numbers left of 0
  • Place decimals in tenths

How to Use This Pack

Seven pages of number lines, from kindergarten counting to 5th grade decimals. Pages 1 and 2 are blank lines with 10 and 20 spaces, a longer mark at the middle and the ends, for students to number themselves. Page 3 has labeled lines from 0 to 10 and 0 to 20 for adding and subtracting with jumps, and page 4 runs from 0 to 100 with a long mark every 10 and a middle mark every 5. Page 5 stacks fraction lines from halves to twelfths, all the same length, so 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10 and 6/12 sit one above the other. Page 6 runs from -10 to 10, and page 7 counts by tenths from 0 to 1 and from 0 to 2.

In the Classroom

Model a jump problem on the board, then have students draw the jumps on page 3: start at 8, jump 5 more. On page 5, ask students to draw a straight line down from 1/2 and list every fraction it touches. The blank lines on pages 1 and 2 make a quick check: number the line counting by 2s, 5s or 10s.

At Home

Play a game on page 3: roll a die, jump forward that many, and see who reaches 20 first.

Tips for Success

  • Jump from the starting number, then count the jumps
  • Bigger numbers are to the right; smaller numbers are to the left
  • On fraction lines, the denominator tells how many equal spaces there are between 0 and 1
  • Fractions that line up with each other are equal

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 2.MD.B.6 Show whole numbers as distances from 0 on an evenly marked number line, and show sums and differences up to 100 as jumps on it.
  • 3.NF.A.2a Mark 1/b on a number line by splitting the space from 0 to 1 into b equal parts; the first part ends at 1/b.
  • 3.NF.A.2b Place a/b on a number line by counting a jumps of size 1/b from 0; where the jumps end is a/b.
