The purpose of this activity is for students to learn Stage 1 of the Jump the Line center. In this stage, students take turns making strategic choices about numbers to add or subtract in order to reach target numbers. Students choose 3 target numbers and mark them on the number line. Both players start at 30 on the number line. They take turns spinning all 3 spinners, choosing a number from 1 of the spinners, and moving that distance on the number line. The first player to land directly on 2 target numbers wins.

Consider laminating blackline masters or placing them in sheet protectors so they can be used multiple times.

• Display a gameboard with 3 target numbers. Spin the 3 spinners.
• “This is my gameboard and my spins. Which spin would you use? Why?”

The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities that focus on addition or subtraction. Students choose from previously introduced stages of these centers:

• Jump the Line
• Number Line Scoot
• How Close?

• “What did you like about the activity you worked on today?”
