Nine addition problems in a 3x3 grid, all within 10. No problem crosses 10. The catalog files this as Grade 1. The arithmetic on it is Kindergarten and Year 1 work, which also makes it useful for early-in-year revision higher up.
The nine problems on this sheet: 4 + 2, 2 + 6, 3 + 4, 2 + 3, 3 + 1, 1 + 2, 6 + 3, 1 + 1, 8 + 2.
A wrong answer breaks the picture, so a child sees the mistake straight away and can fix it without waiting for an adult. It shows where they went wrong, not why. The answers are always 2 to 10, one per piece, so ask children to solve all nine before placing any — otherwise the last few can be found by elimination.
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 fruits scene.
