I made a new activity pack to work on addition and subtraction with my kindergarten students. I wanted something that is fun and engaging so that they would be learning without even knowing it.

Number Lines are very useful tools for teaching these math skills. I made this new activity pack to focus on how to use them.

Hop Along the Number Line includes 2 number lines that can be used with the 12 addition or 12 subtraction task cards. These can be laminated to be re-used, there is a space for students to write their answers on the task cards (use a whiteboard marker) or there is a recording sheet.
