What this worksheet teaches

• Begin recalling small addition facts from memory rather than recounting each time.
• Add two single-digit numbers within 20 accurately and confidently.
• Use 'counting on' from the larger number instead of counting both sets from one.
• Recognise number pairs that make 10 and use them to add quickly.

How to use this worksheet

Let your child answer, then ask 'how did you get that?' on two or three questions. A child who says 'I just knew it' is building fact recall; one who recounts from one each time still needs objects and counting-on practice. The explanation tells you more than the score does.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. 4 + 4 = ______
2. 9 + 2 = ______

Frequently asked questions

Are word problems included?

Grade 1 addition sheets typically mix number sums with short picture or story problems about joining two groups, so your child practises recognising when addition is the right operation, not only how to compute it.

Should I stop my child from using their fingers?

No. Finger counting is a normal and useful stage in Grade 1. What is worth changing is counting both groups from one - encourage starting at the larger number and counting on instead.

Why is 7 + 5 so much harder than 7 + 2?

Because it crosses ten, so your child must regroup rather than count a short distance. Practising the pairs that make ten, and splitting the 5 into 3 and 2, makes these sums much less daunting.
