Strong mathematicians show their thinking and understanding in different ways.  Look at how we solved this problem using numberlines, equations, data tables, words and pictures.  We even acted the problem out before we tried to solve it.  This helped us think more deeply about what the problem was asking us, and the maths and number we would be using.
