Questions teachers ask about this resource

How difficult do the problems get?

The set starts with zero facts and small sums (5 + 0, 1 + 3) and builds to sums in the teens such as 9 + 3, 7 + 4, and 8 + 6, so it spans beginning addition through crossing ten.

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).
