Printable PDF · 29 pages · grades 1 to 2
Facts to 20, learned with strategies instead of fingers.
Twelve strategies (doubles, make ten, think addition and more), each with facts to say aloud and practice to do. Reviews keep old facts fresh, and timed tests show the progress. Ten minutes a day.
How it works
Children who count on their fingers for every fact get slow and tired by the time numbers get bigger. The fix is not more drills. It is a few clear ways to think about the facts.
This workbook teaches them in order: plus 0, 1, 2 and 10 first, then doubles, doubles plus one, pairs that make ten and crossing ten. Subtraction comes after, taught as addition in disguise: for 13 − 5, ask 5 plus what makes 13.
Each page has a short tip to read together, facts to say aloud and 24 problems. Reviews after each group, and four three-minute timed tests, turn the practice into progress your child can see.
