Now, in the following worksheet try to find the missing numbers on the number line.


Skip and Count on Number Line Worksheet

In the previous worksheet, we have seen non-interval counting on the number line. Now we’re heading on to a different version of the above activity. Instead of finding digits one by one, you have to skip count by 2, 3, or 5 to find the next value. For example, you have been told to skip count by 2. So, if the first number is 0, then the next number will be 0 + 2 = 2. See the following image for a better understanding.

But remember some things before proceeding.

  • When you are adding or subtracting a negative number, the seemingly bigger number is always the smaller. For example between -20 and -30, -20 is greater than -30.
  • If you subtract a bigger number from a smaller one, the result will always be negative.
  • When you multiply or divide two negative numbers, the result will always be positive.

So, let’s start to find those missing numbers one by one in the following worksheet.


Finding Missing Fractions on Number Line Worksheet

In this activity, we will find several missing fractions on a number line. In the following worksheets, you will find several number lines with some fractions written on them. But all the series of these fractions are not complete. You can see some fractions are missing from each series. You have to find all these fractions. See the following image for a better understanding.

Finding Missing Fractions on Number Line

Here are some tricks and tips to find fractions.

  • To find a numerator, you have to count the dot of the top space from the beginning till you reach your problem spot. The number of dots you just passed is your desired numerator.
  • To find the denominator, just count the number of spaces between the beginning and the ending number of a number line. The number of spaces you got is your denominator.
  • In the end, write the missing fraction with the numerator and the denominator you got from the above two steps.
