Answer: 2 + 3 = 5
Most problems on this sheet sit beside a picture, model or diagram, so this is the worked example the sheet itself prints. The answer key on page two prints the answer under every problem.
Every print pulls a fresh set of problems at this level, so a make-up test or a second sibling never gets the same sheet.
What's on a kindergarten sheet
The sample sheet above has 8 problems. Its answers run from 0 to 8.
- Add and subtract within 10. Use the ten frames. Write each answer. 8 problems per page.
Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key after the problems.
How to teach this
Count the filled circles out loud together. Say the whole fact: "four plus three equals seven." Then write the number. Celebrate when the picture matches the answer.
Watch for: Kids count all the way from one instead of starting at the bigger number. Counting on from 6 reaches 6 + 3 faster and with fewer slips. Kids expect subtraction to make numbers bigger when they misread the sign. Have them say plus or minus aloud before answering.
