Understanding Number Line Scales

The video tutorial explains how to identify whole numbers on a number line by understanding the scale used. It provides three examples: dividing a number line from 0 to 1000 into four parts to find 750, dividing from 5900 to 6000 into five parts to find 5960, and dividing from 10950 to 10970 into four parts to find 10965. Each example demonstrates how to calculate the value of each tick mark and identify the plotted number.
