1 + 1 and 1 + 8: every number on this sheet stays within 10. No problem crosses 10. Filed under Grade 1, though everything here stays within 10 and nothing crosses it — most teachers will reach for it in Kindergarten or Year 1, or in Grade 1 as review.
The nine problems on this sheet: 3 + 4, 5 + 1, 1 + 2, 3 + 5, 2 + 2, 1 + 8, 1 + 1, 4 + 6, 2 + 3.
No timer and no score — a child works at their own pace and the picture is the only judge. Because each answer from 2 to 10 appears exactly once, a child who has placed six pieces can deduce the rest. Having them write the answers first keeps it arithmetic.
Best suited to a math center or station rotation, where a child needs to finish something without an adult and without anyone marking it. A complete picture is a five-metre glance-check across the room.
The answer key lists all nine results, which is the quickest way to check the level before printing. The completed picture shows a Body Parts scene.
