Key Words
Number line
:
A straight line with tick marks along its length to indicate locations of numbers
.
Integer
:
A whole number, a negative whole number, or 0, such as -405, -31, 0, 15, and 23
.
Coordinate
:
A number used to indicate the position of a point.Slide4
Creating a Number line
Let’s make a number line that is centered at 0
In order to make a simple number line, you start by drawing a straight line with arrows on the end. Place a tick mark in the middle and label it 0.Then put tick marks evenly to the right.
Create the same 10 tick marks to the left of 0, the negative sign is used to represent numbers with opposite meaning. On a number line, the negative sign means that these numbers are to the left of zero. Label each tick mark up to -10Slide5
The number line
Your final product shows a number line with positive whole numbers, negative whole numbers, and 0. This represents a number line of integersSlide6
The Number Line
Points are plotted on the number line to represent locations of objectsSlide7
Try It!
Explain
the point’s location from 0 using the number line below.Slide8
Check your work
The point is at 30, which is 30 spaces to the right of 0
.
The point is only 3 tick marks away from 0, but it is actually 30 units away. This is because there are 10 spaces between each of the tick marks. As long as the tick marks are equally spaced and are multiples of the same number, the number line is fine.Slide9
Try It
Describe the location of point A.Slide10
Check your work
This number line only shows the even numbers. The point is located halfway between the −6 and −4, which would be −5. The −5 is 5 spaces to the left of 0. Sometimes number lines can skip over integers, so be sure to look carefully at the tick marks.Slide11
Rational Numbers
Rational number:
A number that can be written as a ratio of two numbers; this includes all integers, fractions, and decimals that terminate.Slide12
Rational Numbers
Numbers are broken down into various groups depending on their characteristics.
As you can see, rational numbers include all of the number groups shownSlide13
Rational Numbers and the Number Line
Some number lines will look just like the ones you have been working with up until now.
Fractions and decimals are simply plotted in between the integers, as they represent only part of a whole.
In
the number line, the tick marks were all labeled with integers. So plotting the fractions and decimals can be a challenge, as you will have to place the point that makes the most sense
.
For example, 11.1 is closer to 11 than it is to 12, so the number line should show this.Slide14

Opposites
Every rational number has an opposite. This is the number that is on the opposite side but is an equal number of units away from zero on a number line. Zero is its own opposite
.
Examples: − (−4.5) = 4.5
− (−9) = 9Slide20

The opposite of
¼
is
-¼Slide22
Now that you completed this lesson, you should be able to say:
I
can
locate a number and its opposite on a number line.
I
can
determine that an opposite of an opposite is the number itself.
I
can find and position numbers on horizontal and vertical number lines.
