Look at how Tash, Flossie, Jake and Sami answered this problem. Their answers are different. Are they right. Why?



Also, check out the problem solving and thinking on these posts by Bianca and Natasha.

  1. They are right because you can place the 1 anywhere on the number line and then put 5 more in another position.

    I really enjoyed this maths lesson learnt something and that decimals on a number line are fun.
