use a number line to find the sum of the numbers.
1. 3 and 5
2. -6 and 3
i don't get this
from zero go right 3,
then from there go right 5 more
and end up at 8
from zero go left 6,

To use a number line to find the sum of two numbers, you can follow these steps:
1. Draw a number line with positive and negative numbers.
2. For the first question, you need to find the sum of 3 and 5. Start by locating the number 3 on the number line.
3. From there, move 5 units to the right. Each unit represents one whole number. So, for example, if you are at 3 and move 5 units to the right, you will end up at 8.
4. Therefore, the sum of 3 and 5 is 8.
Now let's move on to the second question.
1. Again, draw a number line with positive and negative numbers.
2. This time, you need to find the sum of -6 and 3. Start by locating the number -6 on the number line.
3. From there, move 3 units to the right, since the second number is positive. Each unit represents one whole number. So, if you are at -6 and move 3 units (to the right) on the number line, you will end up at -3.
4. Therefore, the sum of -6 and 3 is -3.
By using a number line, you can visually represent the addition of two numbers and determine their sum.
