About this resource

Description

Adding 8 is one of the addition facts that a first grader meets most often and remembers last, because 8 is only two away from ten. The adding eight equations worksheet gives that single fact a page of its own. Fourteen problems, every one of them adding 8, every sum inside 20, and a printed box waiting for each answer. Practising one fact at a time is what turns counting on fingers into recall, and recall is what the rest of first-grade math is built on.

About This Worksheet

The adding eight equations worksheet is two pages: the problems on page one and a complete answer key on page two. The fourteen equations use every partner from 0 through 12, so the child meets the whole family of eights rather than a random handful. The 8 moves from the left side to the right side and back as you read down each column, which means the page cannot be solved by position. The last row prints 8 + 5 and 5 + 8 side by side on purpose, so the commutative property shows itself without a single word of explanation. Print it for morning work, a math centre, an early finisher, or a quick fact check.

What’s Included

  • Fourteen addition equations that each add 8, with every sum within 20
  • A printed answer box beside each equation, sized for first-grade handwriting
  • Circled problem numbers so the numeral never reads as part of the math
  • Name and date lines at the top of the page
  • A full answer key page

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

  • One fact family, one page. Isolating the eights is what lets a child notice the pattern instead of grinding through mixed problems.
  • It teaches make-a-ten without saying so. Because 8 needs only 2 to reach ten, a child who practises these starts breaking the other addend apart on their own.
  • The answer box removes a second task. Nobody is copying a problem or lining up a column, so all the effort goes into the sum itself.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Before anyone writes, ask what makes 8 an easy number to add and let a child say the make-a-ten strategy out loud. Cover the answer boxes and have partners take turns reading an equation aloud while the other says the sum, then swap. Point at the last row and ask why both answers are the same. At home this 1st grade addition worksheet takes only a few minutes, and playing the Have Fun Teaching Adding 8 Song in the car gives the same facts one more rehearsal.
