Addition on number line
•Addition of whole numbers can be shown on the number
line .
• Addition of 3 & 4:-
•Starting from 3 add 4 to this number, so make 4 jumps to
the right from 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, and 6 to 7.
•Answer will be 7.
•The sum of 3 and 4 is 7, i.e. 3+4=7.

the number line.
•Subtraction of 5 from 7.
•Start from 7, as 5 is being subtracted move towards left
with 1 jump of 1 unit.
•Make 5 jumps.
•So, 7-5=2.
