Problem Description:

The task is to draw a path from the number 980 to the number 1,000 by connecting consecutive numbers. The movement is allowed only horizontally (left or right), vertically (up or down), but not diagonally.

Solution Approach:

1. Identify the Starting Point: The starting point is 980.
2. Identify the Ending Point: The ending point is 1,000.
3. Trace the Path: Move step-by-step from 980 to 1,000, ensuring that each move is either horizontal or vertical and connects consecutive numbers.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### Starting at 980:
- From 980, move right to 981.
- From 981, move right to 982.
- From 982, move right to 983.
- From 983, move right to 984.
- From 984, move right to 985.
- From 985, move down to 986.
- From 986, move down to 987.
- From 987, move down to 988.
- From 988, move down to 989.
- From 989, move down to 990.
- From 990, move down to 991.
- From 991, move down to 992.
- From 992, move down to 993.
- From 993, move down to 994.
- From 994, move down to 995.
- From 995, move down to 996.
- From 996, move down to 997.
- From 997, move down to 998.
- From 998, move down to 999.
- From 999, move down to 1,000.

Final Path:

The path traced is as follows:
```
980 → 981 → 982 → 983 → 984 → 985
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
986 → 987 → 988 → 989 → 990 → 991
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
992 → 993 → 994 → 995 → 996 → 997
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
998 → 999 → 1000
```

Final Answer:

The path from 980 to 1,000 is:
\[
\boxed{980 \rightarrow 981 \rightarrow 982 \rightarrow 983 \rightarrow 984 \rightarrow 985 \rightarrow 986 \rightarrow 987 \rightarrow 988 \rightarrow 989 \rightarrow 990 \rightarrow 991 \rightarrow 992 \rightarrow 993 \rightarrow 994 \rightarrow 995 \rightarrow 996 \rightarrow 997 \rightarrow 998 \rightarrow 999 \rightarrow 1000}
\]
