This math topic focuses on understanding negative integers on a number line and estimating the position of a given point. The problems require observing unlabelled, tick-less number lines with a marked dot, and selecting the integer value closest to the dot’s position from a set of options, which include both negative and positive integers. The exercise is designed to help develop skills in approximating and identifying the values of points on a number line, particularly within the context of negative numbers.
