Teachables Magnetic Number Lines - Single Line

The Magnetic Number Line offers a flexible and reusable classroom resource for exploring a wide range of mathematical concepts. Featuring a blank number line with 21 divisions, this write & wipe strip allows students and educators to customise it for counting, skip counting, addition and subtraction, negative numbers, or even historical timelines. With its strong magnetic backing, it adheres firmly to any magnetic whiteboard, making it perfect for whole-class modelling, small group instruction, or individual demonstrations.

Educational Benefits:

• Encourages conceptual understanding of number lines through active creation and modification.
• Supports development of number sense, counting sequences, and operations including addition and subtraction.
• Enables practice with more advanced concepts such as negative numbers and fractions.
• Promotes visual and kinaesthetic learning by allowing students to physically manipulate and mark the number line.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use for daily number talks-write numbers, ask students to identify missing values, or explain mathematical reasoning.
• Demonstrate jump strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems.
• Create custom number lines starting from any number or showing different intervals (e.g. 2s, 5s, 10s).
• Repurpose as a visual timeline for history or events in science and literacy, adapting the divisions accordingly.
