Number Line Charts

Once your child is familiar with numbers, it’s time to teach them how to ‘count on’, using our Number Line Charts.

Counting on is when your child is able to count from a number other than one, and continue a sequence of numbers picked at random.
For example you can ask your child ‘What is 4 + 3?’. They should be able to count from 4, that is: 4; 5, 6, 7.Number Line 0-10

A great way to practice this is on a number line chart. Great for visualization, your child can see at a glance the numbers on a line, and practice counting on from a random number.

Number Lines

Using a number line takes a little practice, but once your child gets the hang of it, they will surely love it and gain confidence in counting on.

Preschool Math Number Line 0-10 Start with one equation. For example, 4 + 2. Have your child start at 4, then move along (with a pencil or their finger) 2 places where they will find themselves at number 6. "So, 4+2=6"

Easy!

These free Number Line charts can be printed out and used as a guide (move along the line with a finger or a lead pencil which can be erased) so your child can have lots of practice counting on.
