Number Line - Decimal Teacher Resources

Using a number line can provide students with a concrete representation of the value various numbers hold. Sal plots 6 different numbers on a number line. He includes whole, decimal, and negative numbers.

Learn a new tactic for comparing decimals: the open number line! This is the final video in a five-part series on reading and writing decimals to the thousandths. Beginning with a review of greater than, less than, and equal symbols, the...

Young mathematicians dive into the number line to discover decimals and how the numbers infinitely get smaller in between. They click the zoom button a few times and learn that the number line doesn't just stop at integers. Includes a...

Through four steps, three different time values for a 100-meter run are arranged on a number line in order to practice ordering decimal numbers. The price of two sports drinks are also compared. All of this comes in narrated and animated...

There are many ways to approach finding the rational approximation of an unknown square root. Here is a problem that will help math learners make a connection between square roots and their order on a number line. As usual, determine two...

Working in groups, the class will use what they know about whole number operations to solve a real-world problem involving a number line. They will focus on using the number line to correctly label the placement of whole numbers,...

Get real with a video defining rational numbers as whole numbers, their opposites, and all numbers in-between. The goal is for learners to know that the absolute value of any rational number, whether decimal, fraction, or whole number,...

Add another strategy to the toolboxes of young mathematicians with this elementary math lesson on using number lines to add and subtract fractions.

Arrange these in order on a number line: 95% 1/3 .700 3/5 5/6 50% .200 Was that too easy? Don't worry! This app gradually gets more difficult.

Pupils discover the relationship between fractions and decimals and where they fit on a number line. Once they translate the information in a vertical bar graph, young mathematicians complete a homework sheet with eight questions based...

Develop your pupils' understanding of fractions and their decimal equivalence using the 12th lesson in this series. Scholars learn an alternative to long division that results in converting fractions to decimals that emphasize fractional...

Build on your classes' understanding of irrational numbers by comparing their values. The 13th lesson in the 25-part module has individuals estimate values of both perfect and non-perfect roots. They finish by graphing these numbers on a...

Explore how to make a number line and how to mark the numbers along the number line using fraction and decimal notation. Your scholars will compare and order fractions and decimals and find their appropriate position on the number line.

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

In this number lines worksheet, students choose which decimal point the letters represent on a number line, and what decimal number the letters represent. Students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

For this decimal numbers worksheet, students solve 8 problems in which decimal numbers to the hundredths place are ordered. Students also tell the value of specified digits in decimal numbers and place numbers on a number line.

In this tenths worksheet, students write the decimal numbers on the number lines represented by tenths. Students write 70 decimal numbers.

Estimating the value of numbers is much harder than it sounds! Scholars compare and order the value of numbers presented in different forms including fractions, decimals, roots, integers, and pi. This builds on the previous lessons in...

Three chapters worth of integer, fraction, and decimal problems to give you every type of question your learners need to be a successful mathematician. Thankfully the work has been done for you and this is a huge resource full of...

Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a lesson that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice and activity...

Reinforce fourth grade math vocabulary with a reference page offering eighteen terms. Each word is presented in bold lettering and accompanied by a definition and picture representation. Terms include number lines, supplementary angles,...

Learners solve word problems using number sense. They convert fractions to decimals and mixed numbers. Pupils determine if a given fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and order numbers on a number line.

Two fractions with unlike denominators. Compare and figure out which one is greater. There are a couple of ways to do this. This time change the fractions to decimals to compare. Once the values are found, they can also be plotted on a...

Eight number lines are given, and math scholars need to place the given decimal numbers on the fraction line as accurately as possible. Each number line shows a different span of numbers. Consider having learners go through it the first...
