Math Example--Number Line Math--Whole Numbers on a Number Line: Example 16

Topic

Whole Numbers

Description

This image shows a number line from 0 to 10, with the numbers 2 and 6 marked. A blue arc connects these two numbers, and the distance between them is labeled as 4. The solution steps are listed in red text below the number line. Example 16: Find the numbers 2 and 6 on this number line. Then find the distance between them. Solution: 1. From zero, count as many spaces as each number's value. 2. Mark positions on the line. 3. Count tic marks (4).

The topic of whole numbers on a number line involves understanding the position and spacing of numbers, which is crucial for developing number sense. This example collection shows a range of values positioned on a number line, from single values to pairs of values, highlighting concepts of counting, comparison, and basic arithmetic. These examples use a visual approach to reinforce understanding of whole numbers and their relationships.

Seeing multiple worked-out examples helps students reinforce their understanding by observing consistent patterns and variations in number placement. By encountering different examples, students develop confidence and fluency with the concept of whole numbers and can better visualize and generalize mathematical principles.

Teacher’s Script: Let's look at this example of whole numbers on a number line. Can you find the positions of these numbers? Notice how each number has its own place on the line. This helps us understand the order and spacing of numbers. By practicing with these examples, you'll become more comfortable working with whole numbers and seeing how they relate to each other.
