    Sounds reasonable, but the task should be something like “Draw a graph and show why 20 is smaller than 40” or something

      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.
