📏 Part 1: Number Line Jumps

Instructions: Use the number lines below to solve each addition problem. Start at the first number and jump forward to add the second number. Draw your jumps on the number line!

Start at 8 and jump forward 3 spaces:

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10 — 11 — 12 — 13 — 14 — 15 — 16 — 17 — 18 — 19 — 20

Start at 12 and jump forward 5 spaces:

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10 — 11 — 12 — 13 — 14 — 15 — 16 — 17 — 18 — 19 — 20

Start at 6 and jump forward 7 spaces:

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10 — 11 — 12 — 13 — 14 — 15 — 16 — 17 — 18 — 19 — 20

🦘 Part 2: Big Jumps and Small Jumps

Instructions: Some problems are easier if you make big jumps first! Try jumping by 5s or 10s, then smaller jumps.

Try jumping by 5 first, then by 1: 9 + 5 + 1

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10 — 11 — 12 — 13 — 14 — 15 — 16 — 17 — 18 — 19 — 20

Try jumping by 5 first, then by 3: 7 + 5 + 3

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10 — 11 — 12 — 13 — 14 — 15 — 16 — 17 — 18 — 19 — 20

Try jumping by 10 first: 11 + 10, but that's too much! Try 11 + 9

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10 — 11 — 12 — 13 — 14 — 15 — 16 — 17 — 18 — 19 — 20

🎯 Part 3: Choose Your Strategy

Instructions: Circle the best jumping strategy for each problem, then solve it!

Which strategy would you use?

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10 — 11 — 12 — 13 — 14 — 15 — 16 — 17 — 18 — 19 — 20

Which strategy would you use?

0 — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7 — 8 — 9 — 10 — 11 — 12 — 13 — 14 — 15 — 16 — 17 — 18 — 19 — 20

🏃 Part 4: Quick Practice

Instructions: Solve these addition problems using number line jumps. You can draw small jumps above the number line or just count in your head!

🌟 Part 5: Challenge Problems

Instructions: These are a bit trickier! Show your jumping strategy in the work box.
