About this resource

Description

Adding ten is the first big step from counting by ones to thinking in tens. The Adding Ten Matching Worksheet helps 1st grade students see that adding ten to any number from 0 to 10 changes the tens place and leaves the ones place exactly the same, so 6 + 10 becomes 16 and 9 + 10 becomes 19.

This printable page has two parts. In Part A, students add ten to each number in five blue fact pills and draw a line from each fact to its sum on the other side. In Part B, they solve six more plus-ten equations and write each sum in a printed answer box. Together the two parts cover every plus-ten fact from 0 + 10 to 10 + 10 exactly once.

What’s Included

  • One worksheet page with five matching facts and six fill-in equations
  • Every plus-ten fact from 0 to 10, each used once
  • Large, clear numbers sized for young learners
  • A full answer key with the matching lines and every sum filled in

Why It Helps Kids

  • It builds place value. Children notice that the ones digit stays put while a 1 appears in the tens place.
  • It builds fluency. Matching and then writing the same kind of fact moves adding ten from counting to quick recall.
  • It checks understanding. Facts like 0 + 10 and 10 + 10 show whether a child sees the pattern or is only counting.

Teacher and Parent Ideas

Before starting, show a ten rod or a bundle of ten straws beside a few loose ones, then add the ten and ask what changed. Let students use a hundreds chart for Part A and try Part B from memory. Ask children to say the pattern out loud, such as “four plus ten is fourteen, the four stays the same.” Use the Adding Ten Matching Worksheet as morning work, in a math center, as homework, or as a quick check before a lesson on ten more and ten less. The answer key makes checking fast for teachers and parents alike, and this 1st grade addition worksheet pairs well with the other adding facts pages.
