Number Line
I can order numbers to 100 using terms such as greater, less than and in between.
I understand and can use place value in numbers up to 1000.
I recognise negative numbers.
I understand simple decimal notation.
I can order decimals to two or three places.
I can order positive and negative integers, decimals and fractions; use the number line as a model for ordering of the real numbers.
I can use the symbols =, ≠, <, >, ≤, ≥
I can decide if a statement expressed algebraically is always true, sometimes true or never true and give reasons for my answer.

2. What does each of these symbols mean? < > = ≤ ≥ ≠
LO To use a number line to order numbers.

What does each of these symbols mean?
< > = ≤ ≥ ≠ 2

3. Get your mini white boards ready -
True or False?
Display the probing questions on the next 5 slides and ask pupils to respond with either true or false. Ask them to justify their responses.

4. -3 < -4

5. -8 > -3

6. =

7. ≠

8. All of these number are ≤ -4
0, -5, - 6, - 3, -4

9. Any number + 2 is ≥ 2

10. You must be ready to justify your decisions to the rest of the class.
Task One
Choose 10 of the numbers from the boxes and position them on the line provided. Make sure you select numbers which will challenge you.
You must be ready to justify your decisions to the rest of the class.
How did you choose your numbers?
Which numbers were easier to position?
Are there any that you weren’t sure about?
This task can be completed in pairs or small groups.

12. -3 10
193
459
100 -8
0.31 17 88
0.5
-20 72 ⅖
- 𝟕 𝟓
𝟐𝟕 𝟑
- ⅕ 64 52 37 ⅙ -7

13. You can use each card as many times as you like.
Task Two
Use either the symbols or key words to create statements about the numbers on the cards.
Create as many different statements as you can, using as many of the symbol cards or key words as you can.
You can use each card as many times as you like.
If possible try and link several cards together in one statement.
Use the blank cards for your choice of number
This task can be completed in pairs or small groups.

14. = ≠ < ≥ > ≤ Is the same as Is bigger than Is smaller than
Is equal to
greater Than
Is less Than

15. Extension Task.
Decide if each statement is :-
Always True
Sometimes True
Never True
You must be able to give a reason for your answer.
(Divide your sheet of paper into columns like this…)
Always True
Sometimes True
Never True
