Demystifying Maths

What are number lines?

A number line is a line with numbers on! I like to think of them as zoomed in parts of a ruler, thermometer, or an axis of a graph.

A number line is a useful visual tool that helps to bridge the gap between using objects and just using numbers. They show the order and relationships between numbers as well as being great for calculations.
