Phoebe is a Grade 5 mathematics worksheet focused on solving basic addition facts with sums up to 20. Students complete 18 questions—16 fill-in-the-blank equations and 2 multiple-choice items—by finding the missing total in examples such as 8 + 2, 5 + 10, and 9 + 3. The repeated practice helps students strengthen addition accuracy, recall familiar facts, and distinguish between the addends and the sum. Use this free printable worksheet for independent practice, a short skills check, math-center work, or review after introducing addition strategies. The varied response formats give students practice both producing an answer and selecting a correct answer. A complete answer key is included, making Phoebe convenient for checking student work and identifying addition facts that may need further practice.

Phoebe covers basic addition facts with sums up to 20 through 18 questions: 16 fill-in-the-blank equations and 2 multiple-choice items. Students practice calculating and recording sums such as 8 + 2, 5 + 10, and 9 + 3, building accuracy and fluency with addition facts.
Introduce the fill-in-the-blank equations by having students identify the two addends and predict whether the sum will be close to 10 or greater than 10. After students solve the equations, use the two multiple-choice items to ask them to explain why the selected sum is correct and how they checked it.
Watch for students counting inaccurately when solving facts such as 6 + 1 or 5 + 2, and for errors in sums that cross 10, such as 5 + 8 or 9 + 3. Students may also reverse or copy an addend instead of writing the total in the blank, so ask them to name the sum before recording it.
Phoebe is available on Wayground as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key. Grade the fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice responses directly, or scan printable student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to simplify grading.
In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the addition equations and answer blanks are easier to read and complete. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those options support access to the basic addition practice.
