Do you feel like your brain is jammed right in the middle of a question every time you're attempting a math question? Well, there is nothing to worry about. Math is not a complicated as it seems, and various methods can be used to make questions easier. One of the easiest and the most effective methods that can be used to solve questions without much hassle is the number line. Do you know what they are? Let's delve in and find out how it can be useful when you need to display numbers on them! When you are presented with a series of numbers, and you place the numbers starting from the smallest to the biggest numbers, the series is known as a number line. It is not necessary for it to start with zero, but the primary rule it follows is that it begins with the smallest number, and the numbers have to be displayed in order, always. Now that you have a clear idea about this concept, let us take a look at why this tool is useful and can be used to display subtraction. A number line can be used for moving or jumping spaces from the point of starting. Start it with zero and place the numbers in ascending order. The bigger the number, the farthest it will be from zero. On the left of zero, all numbers that displayed will be positive. Using a number line to compute subtraction operation problems helps students to visualize the concept of subtraction. This visualization technique simplifies the concept of basic subtraction for students who are just learning the skill.

In these worksheets, your students will use a number line to perform subtraction. Each worksheet includes a number line or multiple versions of them for students to use to visualize problems. Students will work with both with positive and negative numbers This set of worksheets contains lessons, step-by-step solutions to sample problems, both simple and more complex problems, reviews, and quizzes. It also includes ample worksheets for students to practice independently. When finished with this set of worksheets, students will be able to solve simple subtraction problems using a number line as a visual aid. These worksheets explain how to use these visuals to perform subtraction. Sample problems are solved and practice problems are provided.
