Addition on the Number Line


            Addition on the number line is like counting forward.

            Example : Let us add 5 + 4.


            Step 1 :  Keep your finger at 5 on the number line.











                  0      1       2      3       4       5      6       7      8       9      10     11      12



            Step 2 :  Then, move forward by 4 places. You will reach at 9.










                  0      1       2      3       4       5      6       7      8       9      10     11      12



            You will read the sum of the number. Such as :




                                            5     +       4     =       9




            Now, look at some more examples.




                                           10     +       2













                  0     1      2     3      4     5      6     7      8     9     10    11     12    13     14


                                             10  +  2  =  12
