Secret Code Addition with Bakery Treats — Grade 1

This Grade 1 worksheet hides numbers inside pictures. The legend reveals what each of the bakery treats is worth, and the child decodes each row and adds the three or more values together. It pairs substitution with multi-number addition — the step past kindergarten's two-addend sums — and the code-breaking gives every row a small payoff. Keeping the totals within twenty means the decoded sums are still countable and checkable.

Looking up each picture's value and then adding three or more of them rehearses both careful reading and multi-number addition at once. For a Grade 1 child that combination builds real confidence with small sums, and holding every total within twenty keeps the work honest — a child can always count the decoded numbers to check the answer rather than guess it, then move on to the next coded row.

Children who like bakery treats treat each row as a small puzzle, which keeps a code-breaker happily adding. When this feels easy, crack the code in secret code addition with beach things, or try secret code addition with classroom objects.
