Spring Addition & Subtraction Worksheets

Add two single-digit numbers with sums up to 10

Subtract within 10, taking a single-digit number from a number no greater than 9

Match a computed answer to the picture it belongs to rather than writing it in place

Recognise that different pairs give the same total — 3+4 and 1+6 both make 7, and 9+1 and 5+5 both make 10

Because the answers go beside pictures rather than under the sums, children have to keep the result in their head while they find where it belongs — worth modelling one item together before letting the class start

Several answers repeat within a page (7 appears twice on the addition sheet, 2 and 5 twice each on the subtraction sheet), so tell children a picture may share a value with another rather than assuming each answer is unique

The two pages are independent, so the addition sheet can be set weeks before the subtraction one without either losing sense

The headings are "I can" statements, which makes them usable as the wording for a learning objective on the board

Addition within 10 — eight facts including doubles (4+4, 5+5) and near-ten pairs (9+1), all with single-digit addends.

Subtraction within 10 — eight facts taking a single digit from a number up to 9, with differences between 2 and 5.

Equivalent pairs — different addends land on the same total (3+4 and 1+6 both make 7; 6+3 and 4+5 both make 9), which gives children repeated results to notice while they match answers to pictures.

Matching an answer to a target — the direction sends each result to a picture at the foot of the page, so the task ends with a matching step rather than a written column.
