Teachables Positive & Negative Floor Number Line - -20 to 20

Reinforce foundational maths skills with movement using this vibrant Positive Negative Floor Number Line, spanning from -20 to 20. Measuring an impressive 30 cm x 520 cm, this oversized, wipe-clean floor mat allows students to physically engage with number concepts through kinaesthetic learning. Whether used in group activities or whole-class instruction, this number line transforms numeracy lessons into dynamic experiences. It's ideal for reinforcing addition and subtraction with both positive and negative integers, developing number sense, and exploring number patterns including odds, evens, and symmetry around zero. The visual inclusion of negative values helps students grasp the continuity of numbers beyond zero, supporting deeper understanding of the number system. This resource encourages students to jump, step, or move along the number line, providing active reinforcement of abstract concepts in a fun, interactive way. Combine with large foam dice for additional activity options that merge physical movement with mathematical thinking. For safe use, students should remove shoes, and the durable material is easily maintained with a damp cloth for continued use across lessons.

Educational Benefits:

• Promotes kinaesthetic learning through active movement on a large-scale number line.
• Supports the development of number sense, including understanding of negative values.
• Enhances visual learning of operations such as addition and subtraction with integers.
• Helps students internalise number patterns and symmetry around zero.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use in warm-up maths games where students physically solve addition or subtraction problems.
• Pair with foam dice to generate randomised equations involving positive and negative numbers.
• Have students identify and jump to odd or even numbers to build pattern recognition.
• Incorporate into lessons on comparing integers by asking students to position themselves accordingly.
