Question

The number line shows a jump of five taken from $10$ to $5.$ How many more jumps of one are required from 5 to reach the circled number?

• A. $4$
• B. $2$
• C. $3$
• D. $0$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3$

Say: Let's read the question.

Ask:
$\bullet$ What do we have to do here?
Ans: We need to find the number of jumps needed from $5$ to reach the circled number.
$\bullet$ How many jumps are represented by the arrow from $10$ to 5?
Ans: $5$
$\bullet$ What number is circled?
Ans: $2$
$\bullet$ Count backward from $5$ to $2,$ how many jumps do you make?
Ans: $3$

Hence, Option C is correct.

WB: If required, use the whiteboard to draw a number line and draw arrows to identify the number of jumps required to reach the circled number as shown.
