In these number line games you're asked to make Rabbit jump about a number line so that he lands on the tasty vegetables and avoids the monsters. These activities show how adding and subtracting can be understood as moving along a number line in the same way that children in school use number lines to learn about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
