Secret Word Addition with Flowers — Grade 1

A hidden word is the prize on this Grade 1 sheet. The legend assigns each of the tulips, daisies and a rose a number; the child adds three or more picture-numbers per row, and each total points to a letter to spell the word. The puzzle keeps a child decoding and adding, which is exactly the several-addend practice Grade 1 calls for. Because the totals never pass twenty, every sum stays something a child can check by counting before writing its letter.

A spell-the-word sheet keeps a child accurate because the reward depends on it, and the skill it rewards is core Grade 1 addition: combining three or more small numbers within twenty. The legend and the hidden word add motivation and a self-check, while the totals stay small enough that a child can always count the decoded values to be sure.

Children who like flowers keep going just to see the hidden word appear, which makes the adding feel like a game.
