Using Number Lines

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents subtraction problems that involve single-digit numbers. Each problem has a corresponding number line, ranging from 0 to 10, that students are encouraged to use for solving the equation. The example given shows how to count back on the number line to find the answer to a subtraction problem. Students are instructed to write their answers in the space provided after they use the number line to count back to subtract the numbers.

The worksheet is teaching students how to use a number line as a tool for understanding and solving subtraction problems. It emphasizes the concept that subtraction is the process of counting backwards, and the number line visualizes this process. By using the number line, students can improve their counting skills and their understanding of the relationship between numbers in subtraction. This method is particularly useful for developing a concrete understanding of subtraction, which is an essential skill in mathematics.
