About this worksheet
Eight open number lines with no ticks or numbers, for second and third graders who add and subtract by jumping in tens and ones (34 + 25: start at 34, jump 10, 10 and 5). A faint guide above each line keeps the jumps tidy. Use it with any problem, or as scratch paper next to a math worksheet. It fits second grade, around ages 7 to 8.
Tips for using it
- Let children hop with a finger or a small toy on the line before they draw hops with a pencil.
- Always mark the start number with a dot first; most mistakes come from counting the start as a hop.
- Say "forward" for adding and "back" for subtracting while hopping, so the direction sticks.
- Keep a 0 to 20 strip on the desk during any addition or subtraction worksheet.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
