Start at -2. Make 5 jumps of 1.
-2 + 5 × (1) = 3
Each jump goes right.
| Position | Value |
|---|---|
| 0 | -2 |
| 1 | -1 |
| 2 | 0 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 3 |
Tick spacing is uniform. Fraction labels use denominators up to 100; other values display to 8 significant digits. CSV keeps numeric precision. Repeated positions remain in the table.
PDF includes the problem and space to work. Practice mode can add a separate answer key; Explore mode gives a worked page.
SVG and PNG match the diagram currently shown. CSV includes calculated values, even in practice mode.
Practice PDF page 1 keeps the answers hidden, even after revealing them on screen. PDF pages use high-resolution images.
Start at −2. Five jumps of +1 take you through −1, 0, 1 and 2, ending at 3. The calculation is −2 + 5 × 1 = 3. Each equal jump covers the same physical distance.
Now change the jump size to −1 and start at 3. You travel left and finish at −2. A negative jump changes direction; it does not change the equal spacing of the number line.

A step of 1/4 divides each unit into four equal parts. On a line from 0 to 2, there are eight intervals and nine ticks. The point 1/2 falls at the same position as 2/4. Labels use simplified slash fractions with denominators up to 100; other values use decimals rounded to eight significant digits.
A filled endpoint includes its value; an open endpoint excludes it. For example, [−2, 3) means −2 ≤ x < 3. The shaded segment includes the values between the endpoints. This version supports one finite interval, with neither endpoint beyond the displayed range.
Use a range within −50 to 50 and 2–20 equal intervals; the tick step must divide the range exactly. Plot up to eight values, including repeats, or make 1–10 equal jumps. Every value must fit. PDF supports A4 and US Letter. SVG and PNG show the current diagram; CSV retains numeric values. Blank mode keeps numbered ticks for your own activity.

Yes. Set a fractional tick interval such as 1/2, 1/4 or 1/5, then enter the point values as fractions or decimals. Choose Fraction labels to show simplified fractions where possible.
Yes. Use a negative jump size to move left, and a range that includes all jumps. For example, start at 3 and make five jumps of −1 to finish at −2.
