Worksheet variations

First work out how much each jump is worth: find the difference between two labelled numbers and divide by the number of jumps between them. Then count on from the nearest labelled number to the dot, adding one jump for each tick.

How to solve it: a worked example

Write the number shown by the dot.

  1. StartWhat number is at the dot?202530
  2. Each jump is 1(30 − 20) ÷ 10 = 1
  3. Count on 1 jumps from 2525 + 1 × 1 = 26

Common mistakes to watch for

  • Counting every tick as 1 when the line counts by 2s, 5s or 10s.
  • Counting the starting tick as the first jump.
  • Counting from the wrong labelled number.

FAQ

How do you find what each jump is worth?

Take two labelled ticks, find the difference between their numbers, and divide by the number of jumps between them. From 0 to 50 in 5 jumps, each jump is 10.

What's the most common mistake on number lines?

Counting the tick marks instead of the jumps between them, which makes the answer one step off. Count spaces, not lines.

Is every worksheet different?

Yes. Numbers are generated each time, and the answer key is calculated for that sheet. Swap any single question and its answer updates too.

Can I mix reading number lines with other skills?

Yes. In the generator, add more skills; each gets its own section on the sheet with its own instructions.

Is it free to print?

Yes. Generating and printing from the browser is free with no sign-up. PDF downloads need a free account.
