Addition and Subtraction within 10
10 questions
1st - 1st Grade
Mathematics
Addition and Subtraction within 10 is a Grade 1 mathematics worksheet that helps students solve basic addition and subtraction equations with numbers through 10. The 10 multiple-choice questions include both complete equations, such as 5 + 2 = __, and equations with a missing number, such as __ − 5 = 2 or 8 − __ = 4. Students must identify the unknown addend, subtrahend, or starting number and select the correct answer from four choices. This free printable worksheet with an answer key is useful for introducing, reinforcing, or checking fluency with addition and subtraction facts within 10. The varied placement of the blank encourages students to reason about how addition and subtraction relate, rather than simply compute an answer when the result is shown. It is designed for Grade 1 practice, independent work, math centers, or a short skills check.

FAQs
What does this Addition and Subtraction within 10 worksheet help Grade 1 students learn?
This worksheet gives Grade 1 students practice solving 10 multiple-choice addition and subtraction equations within 10, including equations with a missing starting number, addend, or subtrahend. By finding the unknown in forms such as __ + 5 = 9 and 10 − __ = 8, students build equation-solving skills and connect related addition and subtraction facts.
How can I use this worksheet to teach missing numbers in addition and subtraction?
First model how to use the known numbers to find the blank, such as identifying the number that must be added to 5 to make 9. Then work through one addition and one subtraction equation together, asking students whether the blank represents the starting number, the number being added or subtracted, or the result. Students can complete the remaining multiple-choice items independently and explain how they checked each choice.
What mistakes should I watch for on this worksheet?
Students may treat every blank as the answer and overlook that some blanks appear before or inside the operation, as in __ − 7 = 1 or 8 − __ = 4. They may also reverse the order of subtraction or choose a number that fits an addition equation but not the stated total. Ask students to substitute their selected option back into the full equation to verify it.
How do I assign and grade this Addition and Subtraction within 10 worksheet?
You can assign this worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for all 10 multiple-choice questions. Printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format can also support schools that are reducing screen time.
How can I differentiate this worksheet for my students?
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the addition and subtraction equations and answer choices are easier to follow. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those options support access to the multiple-choice practice.
