Math: Add with a Number Path

The children will work with a number path similar to the picture below. 

Researchers believe that a number line is just too abstract for our young mathematicians. Our students need to be able to visually see each unit, which is the box containing a number. This allows for concrete understanding of seeing how many spaces it is from one number to another.

The kids will do a number of problems similar to this:

There were 4 frogs on a log. 2 more hopped on. How many are on the log?
