User reviews

Excellent app

The only other review for this app claims that it does not go below zero. Simply go to the Line Settings gear icon and enter a negative value of your choice.
I haven’t discovered if there is a range setting.

Love this app!

As a middle school math teacher, I love the versatility this app offers with the option of fractions, decimals and...drumroll...negative numbers! Thank you for creating an easy-to-use app that will transform my classroom! Even though we’re not 1:1, I can see myself using this for small groups.

Good app

I liked the game because it helps me!

Very useful math tool

This app is a great tool we use for homeschool. I like that you can choose the numbers shown on the number line: whole numbers, even, odd, tens. Since the other reviews, negative numbers have been added. Easy to use, free with no ads! Can be used with any math curriculum.

Will Not Open

I can't get the app to open. I have downloaded it twice. My teacher-friend downloaded it and showed it to me. Her copy works.
