Nine problems, none of them crossing 10 — 1 + 1 and 9 + 1 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 + 1, 1 + 2, 9 + 1, 7 + 2, 3 + 1, 2 + 5, 4 + 1, 2 + 6, 1 + 5.
The picture is the check: it only completes when all nine answers are right. That is what makes the sheet work without an adult standing over it. 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. The completed picture shows a dinosaurs scene.
