Jumping Around

Jumping Around is a Grade 2 number-line activity that asks students to determine missing values and decide whether statements are true or false. Students begin from a known point, use the spacing and pattern of the number line to fill in missing numbers, and then evaluate claims about labeled points and differences. The task emphasizes interpreting the structure of a number line rather than simply counting forward.

Use it for partner work when students are developing number-line reasoning and place-value patterns. The extension asks students to create their own number line and true-or-false statements, which turns them from solvers into problem designers.
