Addition Jump Strategy

Welcome, teachers and homeschoolers! We have an exciting resource to share with you that will enhance your students' understanding of addition using the jump strategy in mathematics. We are thrilled to introduce the "Addition Jump Strategy" worksheet, designed specifically for grade 1 and grade 2 students.

To get started, simply click on the button at the bottom of this page to download the worksheet. It's absolutely free, and we believe it will make learning

math both engaging and effective for your young learners.

This worksheet focuses on honing students' skills in using the jump strategy to solve addition problems with two-digit numbers. By utilising a number line, students will gain a visual representation of the process, enabling them to grasp the concept more effectively.

The worksheet consists of eight questions, each carefully crafted to gradually increase in difficulty. The first four questions provide scaffolding, with the jumps by tens and ones already completed on the number line. Students only need to fill in the missing numbers on the number line to find the answer to the addition question.

This initial section of the worksheet allows students to become familiar with the jump strategy in a guided manner. They will gain confidence as they observe the pattern and begin to develop a deeper understanding of how numbers interact when using the jump strategy.

The next four questions, however, offer less scaffolding. Here, students are presented with two-digit addition questions, and the number line is left blank. It's their opportunity to apply what they've learned independently. They must determine the appropriate jumps and fill in the missing numbers on the number line to find the correct answer.

This section encourages students to think critically and apply their knowledge of the jump strategy in a more autonomous manner. It fosters problem-solving skills, mathematical reasoning, and strengthens their ability to visualize and manipulate numbers on the number line effectively.

By utilising this worksheet, you are providing your students with an interactive and hands-on approach to learning addition. The jump strategy offers a foundation for mental math and lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts in the future.

We encourage you to download the "Addition Jump Strategy" worksheet today and incorporate it into your lesson plans. Watch your students' confidence soar as they navigate the number line and uncover the solutions to their addition problems.

Remember, education is a journey, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Happy teaching and learning!
