Number Lines Song Lyrics

Here are the numbers one through nine on a diagram we call a number line

They're represented by lengths that mark with points spaced equally apart

Now if we extend this number line, one whole number to the right we'll find

The next number that we'll mark is ten. Now let's extend it again and again

Twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety

Then my ride ended at one-hundred, but the pattern continues forever ahead

There are many instances where numbers are shown as distances

Represented on a number line helping us find sums and differences

Woah, woah, oh, oh, Woah, woah, oh, oh, Woah, woah, oh, oh

We can jump forward on number lines to solve problems with addition signs

Let's add eleven to twenty-nine, jump one and then ten, forty is the sum we'll find

And we can subtract eleven to rewind, which will take us back to twenty-nine

We can jump backwards on number lines to solve questions with subtraction signs

Let's subtract twelve from twenty-five, jump back ten and then two, thirteen is the difference we'll find

Now add back twelve to thirteen and we will arrive at a sum we've seen, twenty-five

There are many instances where numbers are shown as distances

Represented on a number line helping us find sums and differences

Now here's just one last remark about the distance between each mark

Which we can call spaces to be literal

But their correct mathematical name is interval

There are many instances where numbers are shown as distances

Represented on a number line helping us find sums and differences

Woah, woah, oh, oh. Woah, woah, oh, oh. Woah, woah, oh, oh
