What this worksheet teaches

• 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.
• Add two single-digit numbers within 20 accurately and confidently.

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. 12 + 15 = ______
2. 21 + 17 = ______

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.
