    How to use this worksheet

    • Start with problem 1, 6 + 9. Say together: "9 needs 1 to make 10, take the 1 from the 6, and 5 are left: 15."
    • Continue in order, saying the ten-step aloud for the first few problems.
    • Circle the problems whose answer is exactly 20 (there are twelve, such as 16 + 4 and 13 + 7) and notice how quickly they go.
    • Check with the second page and redo any mistakes the next day.

    What this worksheet teaches

    Here, "with regrouping" means the ones add up to 10 or more, so a new ten is formed. Sixteen problems have sums in the teens (6 + 9, 3 + 8, 7 + 4), twelve reach exactly 20 (16 + 4, 15 + 5, 1 + 19) and two reach exactly 10 (8 + 2, 7 + 3). Mastering this step is a big milestone of first grade and prepares children for carrying in column addition.

    The make-ten strategy

    Break the smaller number so the larger one reaches ten: 7 + 4 = 7 + 3 + 1 = 11, and 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 14. Near doubles help too: 8 + 9 is one more than 8 + 8, so 17. The page also has turnaround pairs (6 + 9 and 9 + 6, 8 + 6 and 6 + 8, 9 + 2 and 2 + 9): solving one gives the other for free.

    Questions and answers

    Questions from parents

    Why do 16 + 4 and 13 + 7 count as regrouping?
    Their ones make exactly 10 (6 + 4, 3 + 7), which forms a new ten. The answer, 20, is two full tens.
    My child counts on fingers for 9 + 6. How do I move on?
    Show the make-ten step on a drawn ten-frame: fill the first ten, then count what is left.
    Is this sheet harder than the one without regrouping?
    Yes. Most children do the version without regrouping first, then this one.
