Addition on the Number Line


        We can represent numbers on a line. This is known as number line.

        When we add on the number line, we move forward as many steps as the

        number to be added. For example, to add 3 + 2 we start from 0 and jump

        3 steps to reach 3. Then, we move forward 2 steps more and reach at 5.


                                      3 steps       2 steps


                                0     1     2     3    4     5     6     7    8     9  10

                                                       +                          =              5
                                          3
                                                               2


        Let us try one more.


                                                  6 steps               3 steps


                                0     1     2    3     4     5     6    7     8     9  10


                                              6       +      3      =      9





              Fill in the boxes by looking at the number lines.
