Understanding Integers: Graphing Integers on a Number Line

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.

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.

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.
