Teaching tips
• Scroll the number line to the right (using the left-hand slide arrow) to show the negative numbers.
• Using the pencil tool, annotate the number line with curved arrows above the line (from the first addend to the sum) to visualize addition. To show subtraction, draw curved arrows below the line.
