The Ultimate Early Years Number Line Teaching Resource

No tool in your mathematics toolkit is more valuable and versatile than your standard number line. A simple paper tool in the hands of a child is the perfect medium for learning about sequencing, skip counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more. This is why students must learn to use these tools early on to help them develop number sense in primary grades. We’ve put together a resource to help YOU teach them those skills!

Use this teaching presentation in the mathematics classroom when learning about number lines.

The topics covered in this presentation include:
