Jumping to Add and Subtract
Jumping is how you can add and subtract
It sounds funny but it can be done
Jump in a line from zero to nine
And I think you'll agree that it's fun
2 + 3, 2 + 3 is____, 5 - 3, 5 - 3 is____
4 + 2, 4 + 2 is____, 4 - 4, 4 - 4 is____
Jumping is how you can add and subtract
It sounds funny but it can be done
3 + 5, 3 + 5 is____, 1 + 6, 1 + 6 is____
3 - 2, 3 - 2 is____, 5 + 4, 5 + 4 is____
Now you pick the facts to add and subtract
With answers from zero to nine
You get to choose the numbers you use
And jump them on your number line

Jumping is how you can add and subtract
It sounds funny but it can be done
