What this worksheet teaches

• Recognise number pairs that make 10 and use them to add quickly.
• Solve simple picture and word problems that involve joining two groups.
• Understand that 4 + 7 gives the same total as 7 + 4.
• Begin recalling small addition facts from memory rather than recounting each time.

How to use this worksheet

Before starting, run through the pairs that make 10 out loud (1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7, 4 and 6, 5 and 5). Sums that cross 10, such as 7 + 5, are where Grade 1 students slow down most, and knowing these pairs is what makes those questions manageable.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. 19 + 27 = ______
2. 28 + 36 = ______

Frequently asked questions

How fast should a Grade 1 student be at addition?

Accuracy comes before speed. By the end of Grade 1, sums within 10 are usually quick and within 20 are reliable with some thinking time. Recall of larger facts continues developing through Grade 2.

My child gets the answer right but takes a long time. Is that a problem?

Not at all - slow and correct is a good place to be. Timing pressure at this age tends to produce guessing. Fluency arrives from repetition over weeks, not from being hurried.

Does my child need to know that 4 + 7 equals 7 + 4?

Yes, and it is a real time-saver rather than a technicality. Once your child trusts that order does not change the total, they can always start from the larger number, which halves the counting.
