Great job, mathematician!

Date: ______________

Adding within 20 is the step after adding within 10, and the hard part is crossing ten, as in 8 + 5. This booklet builds up to it slowly: ten frames, a number line, adding without crossing ten, making 10 and 20, and only then crossing ten and doubles.

Every answer on the answer key is computed from the same numbers as the exercises, so the key always matches. The last pages mix everything: missing numbers, three addends, comparing sums and word problems.
