Nine problems, none of them crossing 10 — 1 + 1 and 6 + 4 are typical. This is consolidation of adding rather than new ground. 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: 1 + 1, 3 + 4, 5 + 4, 2 + 6, 1 + 2, 6 + 4, 2 + 2, 3 + 2, 1 + 5.
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. 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.
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 furniture scene.
