Description
In this activity the student learns to solve different addition number sentences. Some are presented with the sum missing inviting the student to “jump” on the number line the number of hops given in the sentence. For example: 3+3=? The student will be prompted to start at number 3 on the number line, and “jump” three times. Then underline the number (6) and write it in the box in the number sentence.
Other addition sentences are missing one of the addends. These kinds of problems invite the student to circle both the beginning number and the sum, and count the “jumps” between them. The number of the jumps is the missing addends that will be written in the box in the number sentence. For example: 5+?=8 The student will circle both the 5 and the 8 and count the jumps between them (3). Given that the purpose of this product is instructional, I have included a set of worksheets with the errors to mark the jumps (for beginners) as we as a set without the error (that requires the student to make them) for students who “got it”.
Also included two types of recording sheets for the students to record their findings and further the understanding that numbers can be composed in more than one way.
You can use these products as teaching tools, as instructional materials, a review, data collection tools, give as homework, in an independent center, or in any other way you see fit.
The absence of distracting graphics such as borders and other decorations are a purposeful design choice to prevent pulling focus away from the learning and task at hand.
