Printable Math Puzzle worksheet about Forest Creatures for grade 1

What this sheet practises

Numbers on this sheet go up to 24, and 2 of 9 problems cross 10. That combination is what decides whether it fits your class this week. 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: 16 - 10, 18 - 9, 6 - 2, 4 - 1, 19 - 14, 24 - 14, 12 - 5, 15 - 13, 10 - 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

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 Forest Creatures scene.
