About this worksheet

Addition facts within ten are the facts children should eventually know without thinking, because everything from adding within twenty to column addition depends on retrieving them quickly. Getting there takes practice with the plain number sentence, over and over, until the answer comes without counting. This worksheet is a clean page of number sentences in one shape: two numbers, a plus sign and a line for the sum.

There are no pictures, no true or false and no word problems on this page, so your child does one thing the whole way down. Support sheets keep the totals small, standard sheets use totals from 5 to 10, and challenge sheets stay near 10. If a fact stalls, ask your child to start at the bigger number and count on. A child who counts accurately will memorise the facts naturally.

What your child will learn

Add two numbers with a total of 10 or less
Count on from the larger number instead of counting everything
Know that adding zero changes nothing
Begin to recall small addition facts from memory

Common Core standard: 1.OA.C.6

Worked example

For 4 + 5, start at 5 and count on four more: 6, 7, 8, 9. Write 9 on the line.

Common mistake

Counting both numbers from one every time instead of starting at the larger number and counting on.

Helpful hint

Start at the bigger number in your head, then count on the smaller one.
