Numbers on a number line

REPRESENTATIONAL

Mathematics›Addition & Subtraction|Ages 7—8|ID: mt_19j_5AuuQI

Represent whole numbers as lengths on a number line and represent sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram

Mastery Evidence

Place whole numbers on a number line with equally spaced points
Show an addition as a jump forward on the number line (e.g. 38 + 27 shown as jumps)
Show a subtraction as a jump backward on the number line

Assessment Prompt

“Can [child] mark numbers on a number line and show what happens when they add or subtract — for example, jumping forward 35 places from 48?”
