This sheet practises taking away with numbers up to 18. 4 of 9 problems cross 10, which is what makes one sheet harder than another at this stage.
The nine problems on this sheet: 6 - 3, 10 - 5, 17 - 8, 13 - 9, 11 - 1, 14 - 8, 15 - 8, 16 - 14, 18 - 10.
No timer and no score — a child works at their own pace and the picture is the only judge. 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.
Sent home, it works best after the strategy has been taught in class — a parent can support a method the child already knows, but will confidently teach a different one if they are guessing.
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 tools scene.
