Place value within 10 - Number lines - Worksheet

The 'Number Lines' worksheet is an educational resource designed to help Year 6 students understand the concept of place value within the range of 0 to 10. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to identify and represent numbers using various methods, including the number line, while also using comparative language such as 'equal to', 'more than', 'less than', 'most', and 'least'. Students will practice counting, reading, and writing numbers up to 10 in both numerals and words, and will learn to identify one number more or one less than a given number.

For this activity, students will need differentiated worksheets and teaching slides. They will be using a number line as a visual aid to count to 10, identify one more or one less than a given number, compare numbers using 'greater than' and 'less than', and order numbers correctly. The number line serves as a practical tool for visualising the sequence of numbers, starting from zero. Key questions are provided to encourage critical thinking, such as labelling the number line, understanding the representation of numbers, and determining the direction for 'jumps' when finding one more or one less. The worksheet is designed to cater to different levels of ability, with tasks ranging from placing numbers at intervals of one, five, or ten, and is complemented by reasoning and problem-solving questions to deepen the students' understanding.
