Product description
From the author
Practice locating positive and negative integers on a number line. Five worksheet pages include single values, sets of values, six real-world scenarios and reading labeled points.
The 12-page PDF contains five corresponding answer pages plus a cover and creator page. Select a task type and check the scale before plotting.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Graph a given positive or negative integer at its correct position on a number line.
Translate a real-world scenario, such as owed money or a temperature below zero, into a signed integer and plot it.
Identify the integer value represented by a labeled point on a number line.
Teaching tips
Start with the single-integer page before the grouped-integer and labeled-point pages because the number-line intervals widen across the sequence.
Use the answer key pages, which mirror each practice page's number line, to check work quickly.
Assign the real-world word-problem page after direct graphing practice, since it requires converting a scenario into a signed integer first.
Skills covered
Integer identification and placement — students plot single and grouped integers across progressively wider number lines.
Real-world signed-number reasoning — students translate scenarios such as owed money, a temperature below zero, and a stock-market loss into integers before graphing them.
Coordinate reading — students read a labeled point's position on a number line and state its integer value.
