Study Notes
- To create a number line, draw a straight horizontal line with arrows on both ends, then add equidistant notches intersecting the line at a 90-degree angle.
- A standard number line usually has the origin in the middle, with positive integers to the right and negative integers to the left.
- Number lines can count by twos, fives, or any other constant.
- Find numbers not explicitly shown on the number line by marking a coordinate in between two existing coordinates.
- Number lines can be used to model addition and subtraction by counting to the left for subtraction or right for addition.
- The rules for adding and subtracting negative numbers on a number line are the opposite of those for positive numbers: when a negative number is added, move to the left; when a negative number is subtracted, move to the right.
- Multiplication on a number line can be visualized as adding one factor to itself as many times as indicated by the second factor.
- Division can be represented on a number line by counting the number of times one number fits into another.
- Intervals on a number line are sets of numbers expressed as inequalities. To represent intervals on a number line, draw an open circle for less than or greater than, and a shaded circle for less than or equal to or greater than or equal to. A bolded number line represents the range of the interval.
