These three negative and positive number line PDFs are great for introducing your kid to negative numbers and how they relate to positive numbers. You can then test your child’s skills with the number line negative and positive math worksheet! Oh, and all of these downloads are 100% free! 🙂
Number lines may not have been a staple back in your math class days, but they’re pretty commonplace now. And for good reason. Number lines can be used to:
- Help kids learn to count.
- Visually demonstrate how numbers relate to one another.
- Teach addition.
- Teach subtraction.
- Teach multiplication.
- More!
Number lines can be especially useful for helping your kid understand how numbers relate to one another. This may seem like an obvious concept—one is smaller than five, and all, but think about more complicated number relationships such as negative and positive numbers, decimals, and fractions. Specifically when you’re first getting acquainted with these more “challenging” numbers, knowing which is smaller or larger isn’t always obvious. For negative numbers, snag these number line with negative and positive PDFs!
Psst! If your little one is just getting to know the 123s, he or she probably isn’t quite ready for a number line with positive and negative numbers. No worries, that’ll come soon enough! Instead, snag these more basic number lines and number printables:

Introduce negatives with this easy positive and negative number line, which goes from -10 to 10. This is a great starter option because there are so few numbers to deal with. Seeing a huge range of negative and positive numbers on a number line (like the -100 to 100 printable, which is coming up) may be completely overwhelming when your kid is just getting acquainted with the idea of negative numbers.
