Instructions: Work through each activity carefully and write every answer in its box. Use number facts you know to help with bigger numbers, and check your answers with the inverse where you can. You may use a number line or count on your fingers.

1

Number Facts to 20

Solve each calculation. Think of number bonds and facts you already know. Write one answer in each box.

1. 8 + 7 =

2. 16 − 9 =

3. 6 + 9 =

4. 18 − 8 =

5. 13 − 5 =

2

Use Facts to Find Bigger Answers

Use the small-number fact to help you solve the related calculation. The tens digit stays the same when you add or subtract ones without crossing a ten.

1. If 4 + 3 = 7, then 34 + 3 =

2. If 9 − 5 = 4, then 29 − 5 =

3. If 6 + 2 = 8, then 46 + 2 =

4. If 8 − 3 = 5, then 58 − 3 =

3

Add and Subtract Two-Digit Numbers

Work carefully with tens and ones. For adding or subtracting tens, the ones digit stays the same. For each answer, think about how the tens and ones change.

1. 32 + 5 =

2. 47 − 6 =

3. 24 + 30 =

4. 68 − 40 =

5. 23 + 14 =

4

Add Three Numbers and Explore Order

Add the three one-digit numbers in each question. You can choose which pair to add first. Then decide whether changing the order keeps the answer the same.

1. 3 + 4 + 2 =

2. 6 + 1 + 3 =

3. 7 + 2 + 5 =

4. 4 + 8 = and 8 + 4 =

5. 12 − 5 = and 5 − 12 =

5

Missing Numbers and Inverse Checks

Find the missing number in each calculation. Use the opposite operation to check your answer: addition and subtraction are inverses.

1. 9 + = 15

2. − 7 = 12

3. 26 + = 30

4. 54 − = 24

5. 31 + 16 = 47. Check: 47 − 16 =
