Printable Math Puzzle worksheet about Breakfast for grade 1

What this sheet practises

Nine problems, none of them crossing 10 — 1 + 1 and 8 + 2 are typical. This is consolidation of adding rather than new ground. 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: 1 + 6, 2 + 2, 4 + 1, 1 + 1, 1 + 7, 3 + 6, 1 + 5, 8 + 2, 1 + 2.

How it checks itself

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.

Using it in class

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 breakfast scene.
