Five sums within 20, each with its own 0 to 20 number line and the starting number circled. Children draw a jump for every one they add or take away and write where they land. Watch the jumps cross 10: it shows why 8 + 5 can be done as 8 + 2, then 3 more. The answer key draws every jump.

Tips for this worksheet
- Put a finger on the circled number before drawing any jumps.
- Count the jumps aloud as you draw them: one, two, three…
- Adding jumps to the right; taking away jumps to the left.
Every answer is a whole number from 0 to 20, and subtraction never goes below zero. When this sheet feels easy, move on to the hundreds chart and the compare number sentences worksheet.
