  • Number line −10 to 10 Five lines from −10 to 10 on a sideways page, every number written in and a heavier mark at zero.
  • Number line −10 to 10 to fill in Six lines with 21 marks and only −10, 0 and 10 written in: the pupil writes the numbers between.
  • Number line −10 to 10, marks only Six lines with 21 marks, a heavier one at zero and no numbers at all, for pupils to number themselves.

−20 to 20 3

  • Number line −20 to 20 in four rows of ten Four lines of ten: −20 to −10, −10 to 0, 0 to 10 and 10 to 20. Each starts on the number the last one ended on, and the set prints twice.
  • Number line −20 to 20 in two rows Two long lines that continue each other, −20 to 0 and 0 to 20, every number written in. The pair prints twice on a sideways page.

  • Number line −50 to 50 in ten rows Ten lines of ten, from −50 to −40 up to 40 to 50, every number written in. Each line starts on the number the last one ended on.
  • Number line −100 to 100 by tens −100 to 100 on one long line, a mark for every ten: −100, −90, −80 up to 100. Five lines on a sideways page.

How this list was compiled: Own work. Every number is generated from the sheet's range and step, and each sheet is checked to print inside the half inch clear at the edge on Letter and A4. Licence: own work

How it works

This number line printable has positive and negative numbers on one line: −10 to 10, five lines to a sideways page, with a heavier mark at zero. The Sheet menu goes from −5 to 5 up to −100 to 100.

Read the line from zero

Negative numbers sit to the left of zero and positive numbers to the right, and a number farther right is greater: −3 is to the right of −7. A number and its opposite, such as −4 and 4, are the same number of marks from zero.

Use it for sums

To add −3 + 5, start at −3 and hop five marks to the right to land on 2. To add a negative number, hop left: 4 + (−6) ends on −2.

  • For a wall line, print −20 to 20 in four rows of ten, cut the rows apart and tape them end to end.
  • The fill-in sheet writes only −10, 0 and 10, so pupils number the rest.

Questions and answers

Is this an integer number line?

Yes. An integer is a whole number or the negative of one, so a line marked −10 to 10 is an integer number line printable under its grade 6 name. Common Core first puts negative numbers on the number line in grade 6.

Is there a printable number line with negatives to 20 or 100?

Yes. The Sheet menu has −20 to 20 on one line, in two rows or in four rows of ten, −50 to 50 by fives or in ten rows, and −100 to 100 by tens.
