Number line
Simple meaning
A straight line with numbers marked at equal spaces, used to compare and count.
Example
−2 is to the left of 1 on the number line, so −2 < 1.
See it
From the Integers on the Number Line lesson. Try moving things around.
−4 < 2
−4 is further LEFT, so it is smaller. Tap a number to move the selected marker.
