Ask a six-year-old how to make 8, and the first answer is often “seven and one,” followed by a long pause. Seeing that a number can be built in several ways takes time. This 1st grade make a number addition worksheet works on exactly that idea. Eight colored boxes each ask a question, such as “How do you make 4?” Under each question, four sums wait, and only one of them gives the target. Your child works out each sum, then marks the one that fits. The targets run from 1 to 10, and the first box shows a worked example with its tick. A second page gives the answer key.
