Introduction

Numbers are all around us—when we count, measure, gain or lose points in a game, or check the weather! Understanding different kinds of numbers and how we show them is an important foundation in mathematics.

CISCE: Class 6

Definition: Natural Number

Natural numbers are the counting numbers starting from 1 and continue infinitely.

They include numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.

CISCE: Class 6

Representation of Natural Numbers on Number Line

  • A number line for natural numbers starts at 1 and continues indefinitely to the right, marked as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ....
  • The arrow at the right end indicates that natural numbers keep going to infinity.
CISCE: Class 6

Definition: Whole Number

Whole numbers include all natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) along with 0.

CISCE: Class 6

Representation of Whole Numbers on Number Line

  • A number line for whole numbers starts at 0 and continues infinitely to the right with numbers like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ....
  • The arrow at the right end indicates that whole numbers continue to infinity.

Definition: Integers

Integers include all the positive whole numbers, negative whole numbers, and zero. They are represented as {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}.

CISCE: Class 6

Representation of Integers on Number Line

  • The number line for integers includes zero (0) in the middle, with positive  integers (1, 2, 3, ...) on the right and negative integers (-1, -2, -3, ...) on the left.
  • The arrowheads at both ends show that integers go on infinitely in both positive and negative directions.
CISCE: Class 6

Key Points Summary

  • Natural numbers: Start from 1, used for counting.
  • Whole numbers: Like natural numbers, but also include 0.
  • Integers: Include negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers.
