Linear Measurement: Creating Number Lines


By Cindy Aossey (KCM) & Bethany Neel

a Spotlight post In order for students to understand that a number's location on a number line is determined by its distance from zero, they need foundational experiences building number lines. In this video, we construct number lines using different units, both with and without labeling each tickmark. When students have this foundational knowledge, they can understand the meaning of a tickmark on a number line, the location of a number on a number line, and reason about relationships between numbers on a number line.
