About this resource
Description
Adding 8 to a number is a key set of facts for first graders, and word problems show children why the facts matter. This adding 8 word problems worksheet turns the plus-eight facts into five short stories about crayons, boats, pies, blocks and seeds, so students read, picture the story and then add.
Each story has two simple sentences. The first tells how many things a child has, and the second says the child gets 8 more. Right under each story, a number sentence is already started, such as 4 + 8 = ____, so students only need to find the total and write it on the line. The sums run from 10 to 17, which keeps every problem inside the first grade range of adding within 20. A bright lake picture at the bottom of the page connects to one of the stories.
What’s Included
- Five one-step word problems that each add 8 to a starting number
- A number sentence with a roomy answer line under every story
- A colorful lake illustration that matches story two
- A complete answer key on page two
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it links reading and math, because children must understand the story before they add. Second, it builds fluency with the plus-eight facts through repeated, meaningful practice. Third, the ready-made number sentences model how to turn words into an equation, a skill students will use in every grade that follows.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the first story aloud together and act it out with counters before students solve the rest on their own. Invite children to draw a quick picture or use a number line if they get stuck. When they finish, ask each child to write a new story about adding eight and trade papers with a partner. This 1st grade addition word problems worksheet also pairs well with the song below, so students can sing the facts and then use them in the adding 8 word problems worksheet again.
