About this resource

Description

Adding two numbers within twenty is the heart of first-grade math, and the Snowman Math Worksheet turns that practice into something children actually want to finish. Each problem is built into a snowman: the head and the middle snowball each hold a number, and the big bottom snowball is where the sum goes. Reading the two addends, adding them, and writing the total in the right place is exactly the work first graders need, and the friendly winter shape gives the numbers a home instead of leaving them floating in rows.

This 1st grade addition worksheet keeps the layout clean so the thinking stays on the math. Eight snowmen sit on a simple grid, each one numbered, with a plus sign between the two top snowballs and an equals sign above the bottom one so the operation is never in doubt. The addends run from four to ten and most of the sums cross ten, so children practice making a ten, using doubles, and counting on from the larger number. Use the page for morning work, a math center, a winter or Christmas math rotation, homework, or a quick check after a lesson on addition facts.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 8 snowman addition problems with sums within 20

This resource helps children learn addition facts in three ways. First, every problem is set out the same way, so once a child solves the first snowman they can spend their attention on the numbers rather than on figuring out the task again. Second, the fact set is chosen on purpose: doubles like eight plus eight, a ten-plus fact, and several near-doubles and make-a-ten problems, so children meet the strategies first grade expects instead of a random pile of facts. Third, writing the sum inside a large snowball gives plenty of room for a two-digit answer, which keeps young handwriting neat and makes the finished page easy for a teacher to scan.

Teachers and parents can stretch the Snowman Math Worksheet with a few simple activities. Build snowmen with paper circles and have children write their own addends and sum on each one, then trade with a partner to check. Use counters or cotton balls as snowballs on a ten frame to model a problem before writing it. Ask a child to explain how they solved eight plus six, listening for making a ten or counting on. Finish by turning the page over and writing a subtraction sentence for one of the snowmen to connect the two operations.
