Questions about Make Ten to Add

What does the Make Ten to Add worksheet cover?

It practises bridging through ten, with the decomposition written out — 12 questions for Grade 2, all on Common Core 2.OA.B.2: Know addition and subtraction facts within 20 by heart. The instruction to pupils is “Work out each answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Make Ten to Add practise?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2 — 2.OA.B.2, in the Operations & Algebraic Thinking domain for Grade 2. The published standard reads: “Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Make Ten to Add is written for Grade 2, typically ages 7-8. It is one of the sheets on 2.OA.B.2, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Make Ten to Add come with an answer key?

Yes. All 12 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Make Ten to Add can I print?

25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.

Is Make Ten to Add free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Make Ten to Add, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
