PLEASE NOTE: THE PREVIEW VERSION OF THIS PRODUCT IS THE ACTUAL "STUDENT VERSION" AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS. THE "TEACHER VERSION" INCLUDES THE ANSWERS TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS FOR THE PROJECT.

This project involves the analysis and use of the basic number line to solve addition and subtraction whole number and integer problems. Six (6) example problems are provided for the students to solve. Once the calculations are complete and the values are added to each calculation form, the students draw their own number line and then add several basic 2D shapes (rectangles, squares, triangles, circles, etc.) on and around the number line. Then these shapes are neatly colored.

I have my 6th and 7th grade students complete this project after we complete our study/review of the number line.

The table of contents for the project is as follows:

• Part A – General Introduction
• Part B – Common Vocabulary
• Part C – Number Line - Basic Information
• Part D – Number Line Calculations
• Part E – Number Line Design Activity

Part B includes the basic vocabulary encountered in the study and use of number lines.

Part C includes 2 pages of review information on the basics associated with number lines.

Part D requires the students to calculate the sum or difference of 2 integers/whole numbers using a number line. Three (3) steps are used for each calculation and the students are required to complete the blanks in each calculation box for each of the six (6) example problems. The students are to add the initial and final number dots and the jumps on each number line. In addition, a direction arrow is required to be added to each number line.

Once all of the calculations have been completed and the data added to the calculation boxes, the students are to design their own number line following the instructions included in Part E. The design includes not only drawing and labelling the number line, but also adding several basic 2D shapes on or around the number line. The shapes are to be neatly colored as the final activity of the project.

The project is designed to be completed by students working individually. It usually takes one, 1-1/2 hour class period to completely finish all parts of the project with students working individually. Please note that the final coloring, if not completed in class, could be assigned as homework.

This project package includes both a Student Version and a Teacher Version (with complete Answer Key). Answers to each part of the project are provided in the Teacher Version. In addition 2 colored examples of the Number Line are also included at the end of the project package in the Teacher Version.

Between the Teacher and Student Versions, there are 20 total pages in the package. The native MS Word files are included for both versions in the event the teacher desires to make any modifications to the project to suit her or his classroom purposes.
