Ready-made versions
Each one loads the generator above with those settings applied. You can still change anything afterwards.
How to use it
- Set the start and end. Any whole-number range; the spacing adjusts to fit the page.
- Choose the interval. Tick every number, every five, or every ten.
- Add hop arcs if you want them. Give a start and a jump, and the arc is drawn above the line.
- Print. One line large across the page, or several small lines to a sheet.
Who it helps, and when
A number line makes the distance between two numbers visible, which is what makes it the right tool for strategy work rather than fact recall.
Counting onHop arcs turn addition into a physical movement.
ComparingTwo numbers on one line make “larger” concrete.
RoundingAn unlabelled line asks which ten a number is nearer to.
Desk stripsPrint several small lines to a page and cut them up.
