This Grade 1 number line starting point worksheet trains first graders to find where their pencil begins before any jump is made. Six tracing words reinforce position vocabulary, four fill-ins ask which number starts each given equation, and three true-false statements test whether right means add and left means subtract. Perfect prep before kids attempt full jump sequences on a number line.
