Math Puzzle with Supermarket Things — Grade 1

This Grade 1 worksheet hides a picture of carts, baskets and a till behind a grid of small sums. The child solves each cell — some are addition, some are subtraction, all within twenty — and the answers tell which piece goes where, so the supermarket things are reassembled only when every equation is worked out. The arithmetic is the real task; the picture is the reward, and it shows at a glance which cells still need another look.

Adding and subtracting within twenty is the core arithmetic work of Grade 1, and mixing the two on one page keeps a child reading each problem rather than running on autopilot. The puzzle wrapper gives the practice a purpose — every solved cell builds the picture — but the skill underneath is plain: work a small sum, reach a definite answer, move on.

Children who like supermarket things get pulled straight into the solving — the hidden picture is a strong reason to finish every cell. When this feels easy, build another picture in math puzzle with camping gear, or try math puzzle with furniture. You can also browse every math puzzle worksheet or the whole supermarket things collection for grade 1 — each one prints on a single page or plays online, revealing the picture as the answers go in.
