Printable Math Puzzle worksheet about Summer for grade 1

What this sheet practises

Numbers on this sheet go up to 17, and 2 of 9 problems cross 10. That combination is what decides whether it fits your class this week.

The nine problems on this sheet: 17 - 9, 16 - 14, 9 - 6, 17 - 8, 5 - 1, 15 - 5, 8 - 2, 10 - 5, 8 - 1.

How it checks itself

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.

Using it in class

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. 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 summer scene.
