NumIO learning activity

Meet the numbers that live next door

Number Neighbors makes the relationship between nearby numbers visible, so learners can reason instead of guessing.

Learning goal

Use one-step moves to identify the number just before or just after a given number.

Look at the highlighted clue, move one place left or right, and tap the neighboring number that answers the prompt.

Ask whether the neighbor changes by one and have learners show the same relationship with a number sentence.
