KS1 and KS2 Number Lines Worksheets
Number lines are essential tools in building a strong foundation in maths; by representing numbers in a linear, spatial way, number lines help learners grasp number order, value, and relationships in a way that's both accessible and engaging.
Number lines support students in visualising and performing calculations, understanding rounding and bounds, working with decimals and fractions. This visual clarity aids in maths mastery, as students move through concepts with confidence and comprehension.
At Cazoom, we offer a broad collection of worksheets that utilise number lines in a variety of ways. Our KS1 and 2 resources cover ordering and comparing integers, fractions and decimals, beginning with addition and subtraction, rounding, extending to comparing and ordering negative numbers and beginning to calculate across zero. All resources are designed to support progressive learning. With new worksheets being regularly added, there's always something fresh to enhance your students' understanding and keep them engaged.

What are number lines?
Number lines are visual tools that represent numbers along a straight line, with equal spacing between values. They can show positive and negative numbers, fractions, decimals, or whole numbers, depending on the concept being taught. Number lines help learners understand relationships between numbers, perform operations like addition and subtraction, and visualise sequences. For instance, moving right on a number line represents addition, while moving left represents subtraction.
Importance of number lines
Number lines are indispensable in maths education because they:
• Provide a clear visual representation of numerical relationships.
• Help learners grasp operations like addition, subtraction, and division.
• Support understanding of concepts such as fractions, decimals, and negative numbers.
• Encourage logical thinking by illustrating sequences and patterns.
• Foster a hands-on, interactive approach to problem-solving.
For example, using a number line to solve 5−35−35−3 involves simply moving three steps to the left from 5, making subtraction intuitive and visual.
Applications of number lines in Real Life
Number lines are not just for the classroom—they have practical applications in everyday life:
• Budgeting: Use number lines to track spending and plan savings goals.
• Time Management: Visualise timelines or project deadlines effectively.
• Measurements: Understand and compare lengths, weights, or volumes using fraction or decimal number lines.
• Problem Solving: Break down complex problems into manageable steps with visual aids.
• Real-Life Applications: Estimate distances, temperatures, or other numerical data in everyday scenarios.
