What this worksheet practices
1.OA.C.6 · Common Core Math · Grade 1
Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Children work on understanding what addition and subtraction mean, solving word problems with them, and building fluency with adding and subtracting.
How to use this worksheet
- 1
Use "Fact Families" as the bridge sheet. A child who sees that 3 + 4 = 7 and 7 − 4 = 3 are the same fact stops treating subtraction as a separate thing to memorise, which halves the work.
- 2
For word problems, have your child underline the question before touching the numbers. Most first-grade word-problem errors are reading errors, not arithmetic ones.
- 3
Do "Tens and Ones" before "Compare Two-Digit Numbers". Comparing 47 and 74 is guesswork until place value is solid.
- 4
On "Telling Time", read the analogue clock aloud as "half past three" as well as "three thirty". Children who only learn the digital form struggle when the wording changes on a test.
