The manufacturer has withdrawn it, so we cannot order it in. The page stays here because the material itself is still worth knowing about.
Would you buy it if we could source it or make it ourselves? Enough people saying yes is what makes the attempt worth it.
Number Line Extensions Level 6-9 in a child's hands
Number line extensions for six to nine, taking the line past whole numbers into fractions and money. A number line is the first place a child sees that numbers fill the gaps between numbers, and money is the easiest way in, because everyone already knows that something can cost less than one of anything. Durable plastic with rounded corners. In English, and worth checking which currency the money cards show.
Mathematical Reasoning
Develops understanding of linear measurement and numerical relationships through concrete manipulation.
Visual Discrimination
Refines ability to distinguish between different units and scales of measurement.
Practical Life Skills
Introduces real-world measurement concepts applicable to daily activities.
Abstract Thinking
Bridges concrete measurement work to abstract numerical concepts.
How to present it
Place the Number Line Extensions on a work mat with various classroom objects to measure. Ensure rulers are arranged from shortest to longest scale.
- 1Demonstrate aligning the zero mark of the ruler with the edge of an object
- 2Show how to read the measurement at the opposite end of the object
- 3Invite the child to measure different classroom materials
- 4Compare measurements using different graduated scales
3 tips for parents
- Practice measuring household items during daily activities
- Create a 'measurement journal' for recording interesting findings
- Use cooking and baking as opportunities to explore measurement concepts

Frequently Asked Questions
What mathematical concepts do the Number Line Extensions Level 6-9 teach?
These extensions introduce children to linear measurement, numerical relationships, spatial reasoning, and the connection between numbers and physical distance. They support understanding of sequence, intervals, and the foundation for addition and subtraction through concrete manipulation.
How do these extensions differ from basic number rods?
While number rods focus on quantity and comparison, these Number Line Extensions emphasize measurement and scale with specialized rulers featuring clear inch markings and graduated scales. They bridge the gap between concrete number concepts and abstract linear measurement.
What activities can children do with this material?
Children can measure objects in the environment, create number lines on the floor, compare lengths, explore skip counting by marking intervals, and develop understanding of scale through hands-on measurement activities that connect numbers to real-world applications.
Why are these extensions labeled Level 6-9 for ages 3-6?
The Level 6-9 designation refers to the sequential presentation order in the mathematics curriculum, not the age. These extensions are introduced after mastery of materials 1-5, typically when children have developed prerequisite number sense and fine motor control.
How does this material prepare children for future math learning?
The Number Line Extensions establish crucial foundations for understanding fractions, decimals, graphing, and algebraic thinking. By physically manipulating measurement tools, children internalize the relationship between numbers and space, essential for advanced mathematical concepts.
