Teacher tip
Use real double ten frames and counters for the first problem. Moving the dot is the whole idea.
How to use it
- Keep a number line or hundred chart taped to the desk for kids who need it.
- Use it as a timed sheet once a week and have kids chart their own score.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Columns that drift. Turn lined paper sideways or use graph paper to keep digits lined up.
