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: 7 + 1, 6 + 1, 1 + 4, 3 + 1, 2 + 1, 4 + 2, 1 + 1, 9 + 1, 8 + 1.
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.
Nine problems is about five to ten minutes for a secure child, which fits early finishers and morning work. It practises something already taught rather than introducing anything new.
The answer key lists all nine results, which is the quickest way to check the level before printing.
