Number line is one of the different mathematical methods that kids depend on in different things; counting, adding, subtracting, etc. and since it is one of the easiest that one could depend on out there, it is sometimes considered a little bit difficult with big numbers and require the kids to go through some initial steps first.

Subtraction for Kids: The Idea Behind Number Lines

The whole idea behind number lines is jumping on the numbers on the line forward or backward – according to whether you are adding or subtracting – and the number that will be stopped at will be the final answer that is needed. If you have one digit number in the equation, like 5 + 5, getting the answer from the number line would be easy, which will be the same with subtraction, such as 7 – 4.
