  Representation of Numbers on Number Line   

Every number on number line represents position from its greater and smaller numbers. Negative, positive, whole, natural, prime, etc. all are represented on number line. Numbers on number line are represented by the following:

Step 2:     Distance between the numbers is always equal. Therefore, the length of number line should be divided into required number of interval.  

Step 3:     The arrow mark at the far end point of number line, indicates infinitive.  

Representation of whole numbers from 0 to 8 on number line.

Step 1: Draw a horizontal line and mark a point 0 on it.

Step 2: Mark another point and divide the distance among them into 8 equal parts.

Step 3: Write numbers 1 to 8 at each division.
