This easy Grade 1 number line worksheet introduces backward jumps as a way to subtract. First graders trace words like back, less, and minus, then solve four fill-in problems where they start at a number, jump back a given amount, and write the landing spot. Three true or false questions reinforce that backward jumps make numbers smaller. This friendly activity helps young learners connect subtraction to counting back on a number line from 0 to 20.
