1. Number Lines intro๏ƒ

Number lines can be made using LaTeX to show the addition and subtraction of integers in year 7 maths.

1.1. Example Number line diagram๏ƒ

question

png pdf tex

number_lines_mq

answer

png pdf tex

number_lines_mans

1.2. Approach๏ƒ

  1. Number line diagrams will be designed in LaTeX.

  2. The LaTeX file will be broken into parts and placeholder text wil be inserted.

  3. Python will replace the placeholder text in the diagram LaTeX, allowing random numbers to be used.

  4. Python will be used to generate a worksheet with 8 diagrams that are all randomly generated.

  5. Both a question sheet and an answer sheet will be built in LaTeX and then converted to a pdf and png of each.

  6. Then a 2 page worksheet will be made with answers as well.
