Giant Number Line Part 1

Giant Number Line Part 1 is a Grade 6 whole-class activity for ordering and comparing integers on a large physical number line. Students choose integer values, place them on a blank number line, and work together to complete missing positions from negative values through zero to positive values. Building the line as a class makes relative position and direction much more visible than a small diagram on a worksheet.

Use it when introducing or reviewing integer order, especially before students begin operating with positive and negative numbers. The shared number line creates natural questions about which value belongs farther left or right and how numbers relate to zero.
