Welcome to a lesson on how to plot
whole numbers on the number line. In the
first example, we're asked to plot the numbers
2, 5, and 15. On the number line below,
notice how the number line is labeled
every two units. If we focus on the length
from 0 to 2. This represents two units, but
because this length is cut or divided
into equal parts or pieces by this tick
mark. We know the length between tick
marks is one unit. So they wanted to, we
could add extra labels, we would have zero
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and so on.
Having these extra labels does make
it much easier to plot the numbers 2, 5,
and 15 on the number line. The number two is located two units to the right of 0.
Here.  Five is located 5 units to the
right of 0. which is located here.  And 15
is located 15 units to the right of 0,
which is here. For the next example, we are asked to plot
the numbers 4, 9, and 16 on the number
line below. And again looking at the
labels on a number line,
notice how the number line is labeled
every five units. Focusing on the length
from 0 to 5, notice how this length is
cut or divided into 5 equal sized parts
or pieces by the tick marks between 0
and 5, which means that length between tick
marks is one unit. And again if we wanted
to, we could add extra labels. We would
have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and so on.
And now plot the number,
4 is located four units
to the right of 0, which is here.  9 is 9
units to the right of zero located here. 
And finally, 16 is 16 units the right of
zero, located here. I hope you found this
helpful,
