Know Your Numbers: Using Number Lines (0-100)

In this activity, you must find the positions of given numbers on a number track.

 

Example

Look at this number track.

 

A

B

C

D

38

39

40

41

E

F

G

H

 

 

Choose the correct letters for the positions of the numbers 36 and 44.

 

To work this out we need to use the numbers we've got and continue either counting forward or backward. 

To find 36, we know that this number comes before 38 so we need to count back.

Before 38 is 37 so D will be 37. 

Before 37 is 36 so C will be 36. 

 

To find 44, we know that this number comes after 41 so we need to continue counting on from 41. 

E will be 42. 

F will be 43. 

G will be 44.
