05 / Number-line strategies
Can different jumps reach the same destination?
Compare individual steps and decomposition through a benchmark.
Connect a starting number, an operation and a destination through valid jumps.
Number-line strategies
Connect a starting number, an operation and a destination through valid jumps.
The complete worked example below is available independently of the model.
Keep the relationship in view.
Start at 8 and add 7. Seven jumps of one reach 15. A jump of two to 10 followed by a jump of five also reaches 15.
Prepare for the exploration.
Begin with the stated example. Connect the controls to the representation and explanation; ask what changed and what stayed the same.
Use the representation thoughtfully.
The model is an explanatory aid. It does not assess a learner or establish that a teaching approach will suit every situation.
Connected to practice.
The mathematical activity relates to the documented themes of early mathematics and teacher support. It is a new website explanation, not a previously published tool attributed to Dr Sako.
