Addition and Subtraction Within 20

First grade is where addition and subtraction facts become automatic, so these sheets stay inside the single digits: both numbers run from 0 to 9, which puts every sum at 18 or below and every difference at or above zero. Twenty-five problems fit on a page, enough for real practice without filling a sheet a six-year-old will not finish.

Addition and subtraction are both switched on so a page mixes the two, which is closer to how first graders are actually assessed than a page of one operation. Untick one to drill a single skill, or turn on the answer key so the page can be checked without working through it.

Frequently asked questions

How many problems should a first grader do at once?

Twenty to twenty-five is a normal single sitting. If that is too long, switch Half Page on and each sheet becomes two shorter worksheets you can cut apart.

Can I make the numbers smaller?

Yes. Untick the higher digits in either range - leaving only 0 to 5 in both gives facts within 10.

Are these worksheets free?

Yes, free to generate, download and print, with no account and no watermark.
