What kids practice

  • Counting on and counting back on a number line (1st grade)
  • Seeing addition as moving right and subtraction as moving left
  • Where negative numbers live: to the left of zero (6th grade)
  • Adding and subtracting with negative numbers

Try one together: βˆ’3 + 5

  1. Start at βˆ’3 on the number line.
  2. Adding 5 means 5 hops to the right.
  3. βˆ’2, βˆ’1, 0, 1, 2.
  4. You land on 2, so βˆ’3 + 5 = 2.
