6th - 6th Grade

Mathematics

Extending The Number line Test Review is a Grade 6 mathematics worksheet that assesses how students represent and compare rational numbers on number lines. Across 17 items, students identify positive and negative values in real-world contexts, locate integers and decimals on vertical and horizontal number lines, determine opposites, interpret inequalities, and find absolute values. The mixed format includes 9 multiple-choice questions, 5 multiple-select questions, and 3 fill-in-the-blank questions. This free printable worksheet with an answer key is designed for test review, independent practice, or a focused check of number-line understanding. Students apply number concepts to elevations, temperatures, bank-account changes, and vending-machine inventories, then connect those contexts to mathematical representations. The questions also require students to recognize numbers on opposite sides of zero, compare negative numbers and fractions, and explain which values lie to the left or right on a number line.

a)

Maya is correct.   −1 < −9-1\ <\ -9  , so it is warmer in Sioux City than it is in Boston.

b)

Maya is not correct.   −1 <−9-1\ <-9  , so it is warmer in Sioux City than it is in Boston.

c)

Maya is not correct.   −1 > −9-1\ >\ -9  , so it is colder in Boston than it is in Sioux City.

d)

Maya is not correct.   −1 > −9-1\ >\ -9  , so it is colder in Sioux City than it is in Boston.

FAQs

What does the Extending The Number line Test Review worksheet cover?

This Grade 6 worksheet reviews representing and comparing rational numbers on number lines, including integers, decimals, fractions, opposites, absolute values, and inequalities. Its 17 mixed-format items ask students to interpret positive and negative changes in real-world contexts, identify plotted values, determine opposites, and explain how inequality relationships correspond to positions on a horizontal number line.

How can I use this worksheet to teach comparing rational numbers on a number line?

Begin by modeling how zero, positive values, and negative values represent contexts such as elevations, temperatures, and account changes. Then have students use the worksheet’s number-line items to connect “greater than” with a position farther right and “less than” with a position farther left, including comparisons such as -13.4 and -6.7 or 5/6 and 1/4. Use the multiple-select questions to ask students to justify why each selected pair or plotted value satisfies the condition.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this number-line review?

Watch for students assigning the wrong sign to a real-world value, such as treating an elevation below sea level or a withdrawal as positive. Students may also compare negative numbers by their digits instead of their positions on the number line, confuse a number with its opposite, or report a negative absolute value. In the multiple-select items, check that students evaluate every option rather than selecting only one statement.

How do I assign and grade this worksheet?

You can assign Extending The Number line Test Review as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. It includes a complete answer key for checking the multiple-choice, multiple-select, and fill-in-the-blank responses. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade responses efficiently.

How can I differentiate this number-line worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or increase the font size so the number lines, decimal values, and answer choices are easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when appropriate for the students completing these rational-number questions.
