About this worksheet
Make a ten word problems give first graders reading-based practice with the make a ten addition strategy. Every problem starts with 8 or 9, so students fill the ten first and then add what is left. Aligned to CCSS 1.OA.C.6, all sums stay within 20.
This differentiated set includes two levels of the same six problems, so you can match each student:
- One star (scaffolded): a ten-frame shows the first number with the empty spots open and the second number as extra counters, so students see how to make ten.
- Two stars (independent): the same problems with a single picture, so students make ten on their own.
Each vertical task card has a make-a-ten number frame and open space for students to show their thinking. A ready-to-use teacher guide and an answer key are included, so this resource is truly print-and-go.
Cute coloring-style pictures keep young learners engaged and double as a color-when-finished bonus. Perfect for math centers, small-group intervention, morning work, or homework during your addition strategies unit.
