According to the latest research on how the brain learns math "by the age of 6 children have developed a mental number line that gives them central conceptual structure for whole numbers." Extending the basic number line, these activities place scale, fractions, and money on a number line. All four task cards meet common core suggestions for lower elementary mathematics.

Description of number lines:

• Number line set 1: Four different activities where children place numerals on the number line in various scales.
• Number line set 2: Four different activities where children place fractional circles, squares, and triangles on a number line in relation to each other.
• Number line set 3: Four different activities where children place coins on a number line and label their fractional value to a dollar.
• Number line set 4: Eight different activities where children place equivalent fraction pieces on a number line, equivalent fractions and compound fractions.

Number lines are printed on durable vinyl so there is no need to laminate them.
