This medium Grade 1 number line worksheet mixes forward and backward jumps with larger numbers up to 20. First graders solve nine fill-in problems that use both addition and subtraction on a number line. A matching activity pairs problem types like 9+4 or 13-5 with the correct jump direction, forward or backward. This worksheet strengthens the link between operation signs and movement, helping young learners decide which way to hop before counting their jumps.
