Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Solve addition facts with sums from 11 to 20 and independently verify the answer using the card's self-checking fold.
Practice mental addition strategies, or use counters as a support, before checking each solved problem.
Teaching tips
Assemble the cards following the fold instructions (fold right-third under, then left side over the picture so only the word/answer shows) before first use, and reinforce with lamination for a durable, reusable set.
Use a paper clip or clothespin to hold each card closed if students tend to peek before solving.
Set the cards up as a math center, small-group station, or morning tub activity, and provide counting objects for students who need more support than mental math alone.
Skills covered
Addition fact fluency — 177 cards give repeated practice across every sum from 11 to 20.
Self-assessment — the fold-open answer format lets students check their own work immediately without a teacher or separate key.
Flexible strategy use — students can solve mentally or with counters, supporting different levels of readiness on the same set of facts.
Independent practice routines — the format is designed for center, station, or small-group use without requiring direct teacher supervision.

Curriculum
Standards, concepts & topics
Standards
- 1.OA.C.6 — Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
- K.OA.A.1 — Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings2, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
- K.OA.A.5 — Fluently add and subtract within 5
