Hopping on the number line
http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L53
A lesson plan for grades 1–2 Mathematics
In this lesson, one of a six-part unit from Illuminations titled “Do It with Dominoes,” students generate sums using the “number line” model. This model highlights the measurement aspect of addition and is a distinctly different representation of the operation from the model presented in lesson one. The order property is also introduced. At the end of the lesson, students are encouraged to predict sums and to answer puzzles involving addition.

Mathematics (2004)
Grade 1
- Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, and model whole numbers through 99 and compute with whole numbers.
- Objective 1.03: Develop fluency with single-digit addition and corresponding differences using strategies such as modeling, composing and decomposing quantities, using doubles, and making tens.
- Objective 1.04: Create, model, and solve problems that use addition, subtraction, and fair shares (between two or three).
Grade 2
- Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, model, and compute with whole numbers through 999.
- Objective 1.03: Create, model, and solve problems that involve addition, subtraction, equal grouping, and division into halves, thirds, and fourths (record in fraction form).
- Objective 1.05: Create and solve problems using strategies such as modeling, composing and decomposing quantities, using doubles, and making tens and hundreds.
