“Zoom In” on the Decimal Number Line Anchor Chart

Are your students needing a bit more instruction on identifying decimals on a number line? As we all know, one method does not fit all, so teaching different ways to solve problems is important. 

Teach Starter has created a reference sheet you can use with your students in your fractions and decimals unit when learning how to identify and order decimals on a number line. This printable anchor chart is designed to help your students “Zoom In” on the number line and visualize the breakdown of ones, tenths, and hundredths on a number line.

How to Make the Most of Your Decimals on a Number Line Anchor Chart

• Print the posters and display them in your classroom for students to reference when doing independent work.
• Print the posters, slip them into a clear sleeve, and use them in your guided groups as a reminder.
• Print the posters, slide them into a clear sleeve, and hang them on a ring as a reference tool for a learning center. 

We’ve also developed bonus ways to turn posters into interactive tools that make your lessons stick! 

📂 Place copies in students’ homework folders for reference. 

💻 Provide posters as digital resources for virtual students. 

✅ Incorporate posters into your lesson wrap-up: students write on a sticky note what they learned from the lesson and place it on the poster.
