Reading an Integer Sum from Hops on a Number Line - Use the number line to fill in the missing number

Sep 30, 2026

Uploaded by Grenda

Worksheets and answer key for reading integer sums using jumps on a number line. Students complete problems by applying addition of negative and positive integers, matching hops to the resulting location, and determining the missing addend or sum. Multiple items use different hop lengths and starting points, including cases that cross zero, to strengthen integer operations, sign reasoning, and interpretation of number-line models in a consistent format.

FAQs

How do you find the missing number in each problem?

Use the number line hops to model the addition. Identify where the hop lands and compute the missing value that makes the equation true.

Why do some problems cross zero on the number line?

Crossing zero shows the change from negative to positive (or vice versa). The sum follows the hop direction and distance across that boundary.

What types of integer addition problems are included?

The set includes sums of negative and positive integers, with different starting points and hop lengths to solve for either the total or the missing addend.
