Plotting Whole Numbers on a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to plot whole numbers on a number line. It provides two examples: the first involves plotting numbers 2, 5, and 15 on a line labeled every two units, while the second involves plotting numbers 4, 9, and 16 on a line labeled every five units. The tutorial explains how to interpret tick marks and add extra labels to make plotting easier.
