Money word problems on a number line
A child owes a sports club an annual fee plus the cost of some gear, then pays part of it. The student uses a number line to work out how much is still owed.
It takes two steps, adding the costs and then taking away the payment, and every amount is a whole number of dollars on a marked tick.
