Addition and subtraction are mixed on the same sheet, so a child has to read the sign each time: 1 + 2, then 21 - 13. Switching between the two is a separate difficulty from the arithmetic itself. Filed under Grade 1, though the numbers here go above 20 — closer to Grade 2 or Year 3. In Grade 1 it suits children already secure within 20.
The nine problems on this sheet: 12 - 8, 1 + 2, 9 - 7, 7 - 1, 4 + 1, 21 - 13, 4 + 3, 1 + 8, 3 + 7.
No timer and no score — a child works at their own pace and the picture is the only judge. Every sheet uses the same nine answers, 2 to 10. Some children will match by piece shape instead of calculating — asking them to read two facts aloud settles it.
Nine problems is about five to ten minutes for a secure child, which fits early finishers and morning work. It practises something already taught rather than introducing anything new.
The answer key lists all nine results, which is the quickest way to check the level before printing. Note that crossing 10 only comes up in the subtraction here; adding over ten does not appear on this type of sheet. The completed picture shows a Body Parts scene.
