Probably a number line? Draw a line to show it's only 2 jumps to 20 but 4 equally spaced jumps to 40.

As a teacher that's what I would've done at least. Number lines are quite effective at helping kids visualize numbers.

This response doesn't seem to indicate this particular teacher has adequately explained what the expected answer is though.

Eh, I don't necessarily agree, you're testing a child's ability to come up with a solution moreso than their ability to follow instructions. Other answers are possible, and maybe a student prefers their own way. But one way of doing it, like a number line, should be so ingrained in all students that anyone knows at least that one way of doing it, imo.

Install the 'YouTube No Translation' extension to get rid of it, it's so incredibly annoying. Insane that Google still can't fathom bilingual people existing 🙄

My hands are filthy, burned and calloused so hers can be filled with chicken nuggets.

Okay maybe a bicycle would be a little difficult, but hopefully you understood I was being facetious =P

But also, needing your own vehicle and tools to do your job isn't as normal as you'd think. Maybe necessitated in America, but apart from a driver's license here your employer should provide you with a vehicle, parking space and tools if they're needed to do your job. Plenty of people I know don't actually own a car themselves, but lease one through their employer because it's required to do their job. They walk or cycle to wherever they're able to keep the vehicle, if that's not at home, and don't necessarily have their own.
