Question

The number line shows a jump of two taken from $6$ to $4.$ How many more jumps of one are required from 4 to reach the circled number?

• A. $0$
• B. $4$
• C. $2$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2$

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 $4$ to reach the circled number.
$\bullet$ How many jumps are represented by the arrow from 6 to $4$?
Ans: $2$
$\bullet$ Which number is circled?
Ans: $2$
$\bullet$ Count backward from $4$ to $2,$ how many jumps do you make?
Ans: $2$

Hence, Option A 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.


Probing Question:
Q. If we take $2$ backward jumps of $2,$ what number would we arrive at?
A. If we take $2$ backward jumps of $2,$ we arrive at $0.$
