About this worksheet
Add and subtract by hopping along a number line. Each problem has its own number line from 0 to 10 or 0 to 20: start at the first number, draw the hops, and write where you land. The answer key shows the hops.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Put a finger on the first number, then count the hops, not the numbers.
- Addition hops go right, subtraction hops go left.
- Later, make one big hop to the next ten instead of many small hops.
- A number line on the desk helps children check their own answers.
