Why?
All real numbers can be plotted on a number line. When you are able to plot numbers on a number line, each numerical value is connected to a visual representation of that quantity. You can see the values and how they relate to each other. This knowledge builds the foundation for nearly every math concept that follows, such as comparing values, finding the distance between two points, and graphing functions.
