Tide-Pool Survey: Locate Each Count

Use number lines and coordinates to record field-trip observations.

Along the Survey Line

Students count tide-pool species at marked survey locations. On each number line, 0 is the reference marker. Negative positions are left of the marker; positive positions are right.

1.
A snail-count station is at the second tick mark to the left of 0.−8−6−4−202468

What is the station's position?   m

2.
Leila needs to place a limpet-count marker at −1.5 m. Which instruction locates it on this number line?−3−2.5−2−1.5−1−0.500.511.522.53
  • A. Start at 0 and move three tick intervals right.
  • B. Start at 0 and move two tick intervals left.
  • C. Start at 0 and move three tick intervals left.
  • D. Start at 0 and move four tick intervals left.
3.
The line below is marked in equal intervals of 1/4 m. A crab-count station is at the fifth tick mark to the right of −2.−22

Write the station's position as a fraction or decimal.   m
