The addition sentence modeled is:


(-4)+(-4)+(-4)=-12

In the number line you can see the three segments of four units one after another.

The multiplication sentence is:


3\cdot(-4)=-12

In the picture there are 3 segments of 4 units each one, the negative sign indicates the direction, to the left in this case.

Finally, we can see a division sentence in the number line:


((-12))/((-4))=3

In the picture we can see that the lenght of all segments together is (-12) and there are 3 segments of length (-4) that enter into the (-12).
