Description

Extend counting on and counting back in 1st grade to numbers within 20. This resource uses clear, visual number line practice. It builds on the earlier strategy work in Counting On & Back Within 10 Grade 1 Math and supports confident addition and subtraction. Both are available as a bundle.

Students use number lines to hop forward or backward, make sense of equations, and build fluency with early addition and subtraction. The structure is simple, visual, and designed to support growing independence in Grade 1.

📄 What’s Included

• I Do: Modeled examples within 20
• We Do: Guided practice using structured number lines
• You Do: Independent practice pages
• Mixed Practice: Using number lines to add and subtract to 20
• Number line mat to 20
• Answer Key: Clear solutions for quick checking
