Solve 26 + 38 Using Number Line Jumps: Visual Addition Strategy

Solve the addition exercise,

using jumps on the the number line below:

$26+38=$

To solve this problem using a number line, we will break down the addition of $26 + 38$ into smaller steps:

• First, start at the number $26$ on the number line.
• We can decompose the number $38$ into $30$ and $8$ for easier addition.
• From $26$, make a jump of $30$:
• $26 + 30 = 56$
• Next, add the remaining $8$ from the $38$:
• $56 + 8 = 64$

The final position on the number line after jumping is $64$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem $26 + 38$ is $\boxed{64}$.
