Froggy number lines!


Since we're all experts at counting on by now, we've started learning a new strategy to help us complete maths problems - using the number line! 

We all pretended we were little frogs who were jumping around a number line trying to solve maths problems. 

The frogs always like to sit on the bigger number and jump the smaller number. 

They never EVER jump up and down - they always jump forwards or backwards. 

The number they land on gives you the answer to the problem. 

There's a great game to help you practise this here! 



Remember + means you are adding the two numbers together so it's getting bigger - jump forward. 
 - means you are taking away one of the numbers so it's getting smaller - jump backwards! Have fun!
