What is a Number Line?
A number line is like a special path that helps us count and understand numbers!
It's a straight line with numbers placed in order from smallest to biggest. Today we'll explore numbers up to 20, hopping from one number to the next like little frogs!
How to Use a Number Line
1️⃣ Start at 0 - The beginning of our number journey
2️⃣ Hop to the right - Each hop makes the number bigger
3️⃣ Count as you go - Say each number out loud!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it physical: Create a number line on the floor with tape and have your child hop from number to number while counting aloud.
- Daily practice: Use number lines when talking about daily activities - "If we leave at 3:00 and it takes 4 hours, what time will we arrive?"
- Play games: Try "guess my number" games where you give clues like "It's between 5 and 10 on the number line."
