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: 4 + 4, 5 + 1, 1 + 1, 2 + 1, 1 + 3, 3 + 6, 9 + 1, 3 + 4, 2 + 3.
Because the sheet corrects itself, a child can fail privately and try again — which matters for children who are anxious about getting maths wrong. One mistake does leave the picture incomplete, so for children who find that discouraging it works better in pairs, or checked after every three pieces.
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 Farm Animals scene.
