What this sheet practises

Addition and subtraction are mixed on the same sheet, so a child has to read the sign each time: 3 + 4, then 19 - 11. Switching between the two is a separate difficulty from the arithmetic itself.

The nine problems on this sheet: 8 - 2, 13 - 9, 19 - 11, 3 + 4, 17 - 8, 16 - 13, 4 + 1, 9 - 7, 1 + 9.

How it checks itself

No timer and no score — a child works at their own pace and the picture is the only judge. Because each answer from 2 to 10 appears exactly once, a child who has placed six pieces can deduce the rest. Having them write the answers first keeps it arithmetic.

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 weather scene.
