About this worksheet
Two vertical number lines from -20 to 20, like the scale on a thermometer, with every number labeled, positives in red above zero and negatives in blue below. A vertical line makes temperature, elevation and debt problems easy to picture, and it fits next to a notebook page once cut apart. It is a good fit for fifth grade, around ages 10 to 11.
On this sheet
Like a thermometer: numbers go up above zero and down below zero. Cut along the dashed line.
Tips for using it
- Let children hop with a finger or a small toy on the line before they draw hops with a pencil.
- Always mark the start number with a dot first; most mistakes come from counting the start as a hop.
- Say "forward" for adding and "back" for subtracting while hopping, so the direction sticks.
- Keep a 0 to 20 strip on the desk during any addition or subtraction worksheet.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
