Abstract
A grade 4 mathematics homework question instructed students, “Use the empty number line to solve the following,” causing nineyear- old Emily to respond, “No one should tell me what strategy to use. I should be allowed to make up my own mind!” Emily found it easier to solve some two-digit addition and subtraction computations by splitting them into tens and ones rather than using a strategy that could be recorded on a number line.
