Number Lines and the Coordinate Grid, Part 1
From the CUNY Math Packet
Every number can be thought of as a point on the number line. Because of this, number lines are important for all kinds of mathematics – they are used in algebra, geometry, statistics, and many other kinds of mathematics.
In Part 1, students study:
- Plotting points on a number line, including fractions, decimals, and signed numbers
- Measurement and distance on a number line
- Absolute value
For teachers wishing to build on number line concepts to connect to the coordinate grid, there is a Part 2 for these materials.
