Assignment 3 - Weekend of 9/7

Are we having fun with number lines yet? :)

Remember from today's activity that a number line is set up like this, with negative numbers to the left of zero, and positive numbers to the right:


*Note that the negative numbers seem to increase as you go left, but remember that the further left you go, the value decreases. Kind of like if you were representing negative points in a game show; a team with -7 points has LESS points than a team with -3.*
