Description

The number line is an excellent tool for developing numerical understanding and making connections across number systems. Through the use of number lines, students can visually represent the relationships among whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers. This representation gives each number a unique point on the line and a distance from zero depicting its magnitude and direction. Students use number lines to display operations, equivalents, and solutions.
