How to use a printable number line

Make counting and arithmetic visible with equal steps along a line. Choose a range that fits the lesson and keep the tick interval consistent.

Number line showing three forward jumps from two to five
Example in use. Start at 2 and move three equal steps to land on 5: 2 + 3 = 5.This is a usage illustration. Customize the sheet above before downloading.
  1. Choose a range and tick interval

    For early addition, use 0–10 with steps of 1. Use negative values or smaller intervals only when the learner needs them.

  2. Show movement on the line

    Point to the starting number. Draw one arc for each step, moving right for addition and left for subtraction.

  3. Explain the landing point

    Ask the learner to say where the jumps ended and write the matching calculation. Use another line for the next example.

Try this. Count the spaces between ticks, not the tick marks themselves. Equal tick spacing is what makes the model useful.
