Each problem shows an addition equation next to a number line. Students start at the first number, count forward by the second number, and write where they land. This builds a powerful mental model for addition.
Use after students understand basic addition concepts. The number line provides a semi-abstract model that bridges manipulatives and mental math. Great for students who are visual or kinesthetic learners.
Draw a number line on paper or use a ruler. Have your child put their finger on the first number, then hop forward. Where they land is the answer! Practice this physically before using the worksheet.
