Negative Numbers on the Number Line

Description

Introduces negative numbers by showing a number line from -10 to +10 and demonstrating that numbers extend to the left of zero. Students see that negative and positive numbers are mirror images, then practice addition and subtraction using animated hops.

Phases

# Phase Name Duration Description
1 Number Line Intro 6s Draw the number line from -10 to +10 with tick marks and labels. Highlight zero.
2 Mirror Images 8s Place +3 (blue dot) and -3 (red dot). Draw a dashed mirror line at zero. Animate both dots appearing symmetrically.
3 Addition with Negatives 10s Start at 5 (blue), hop left 3 times to show 5 + (-3) = 2. Label each hop.
4 Subtraction Across Zero 8s Start at 2, hop left 5 steps to show 2 - 5 = -3. Land on red zone.
5 Summary 6s Show key takeaways: negative numbers are left of zero, subtraction can cross zero.
