Printable Math Puzzle worksheet about Farm Animals for grade 1

What this sheet practises

Numbers on this sheet go up to 17, and 1 of 9 problems cross 10. That combination is what decides whether it fits your class this week.

The nine problems on this sheet: 10 - 1, 7 - 5, 8 - 5, 7 - 3, 9 - 4, 17 - 7, 8 - 2, 8 - 1, 16 - 8.

How it checks itself

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.

Using it in class

Useful as cover or substitute work: the sheet corrects itself and the answer key is included, so an adult who does not know the class can run it.

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 Farm Animals scene.
