Number Line

  • Grades K–6
  • Math

Number Line builds number sense the way researchers recommend: place 37 between 0 and 100, then fractions, decimals and negatives. Hearts keep it gentle and every level can be solved by estimating.

Free trial: 3 days with the first 25 levels of every game. No card needed.

What it teaches

  • Place whole numbers on a number line (to 10, 20, 100 and beyond)
  • Estimate where a number goes when there are no tick marks
  • Fractions (halves, quarters) and decimals (tenths) on a line
  • Negative numbers below zero

Chapter by chapter

  • Dots to ten: Numbers 0–10
  • Up to twenty: Numbers 0–20
  • Fifty and one hundred: Numbers to 100
  • No ticks: Estimating position
  • Halves and quarters: Fractions on a number line (gr 3)
  • Tenths: Decimals to tenths (gr 4)
  • Big lines: Larger numbers
  • Below zero: Negative numbers (gr 6)
