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!
