   When locating a number on the number line, you typically begin by finding the origin, which is usually represented by the number 0. From there, you move either to the left or right along the number line, depending on whether the number you’re locating is negative or positive.

   1. For positive numbers: Move to the right from the origin. The further to the right you go, the larger the number becomes.

   2. For negative numbers: Move to the left from the origin. The further to the left you go, the smaller (more negative) the number becomes.

   So, for example:

   • To locate the number 3, you would start at 0 and move 3 units to the right.
   • To locate the number -2, you would start at 0 and move 2 units to the left.

   Remember, each mark on the number line represents a unit of distance, whether it’s integers, fractions, or decimals.
