Practise specific Addition skills
What Your Child Will Learn
Grade 1 addition builds on Kindergarten counting skills by introducing formal addition facts to 20. Students learn multiple strategies for adding, including counting on, using doubles, making ten, and decomposing numbers. They begin writing addition sentences and understanding the equals sign as a balance, not just 'the answer comes next.'
By the end of Grade 1, students should fluently add single-digit numbers and be comfortable with sums up to 20. They also solve simple one-step addition word problems using pictures, number lines, and equations. Mental math strategies are introduced alongside concrete tools like base-ten blocks.
Skills Covered
- Addition facts to 20 with fluency
- Counting on from the larger number
- Making ten as an addition strategy
- Using doubles and near-doubles
- Solving one-step addition word problems
- Writing addition sentences with the + and = symbols
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): developing fluency with addition facts to 18 and applying mental math strategies.
Parent Tip: Play dice or card games that require adding two numbers together. The repeated, low-pressure practice builds fact fluency naturally.
What your child will practice
- Addition Facts to 10Use objects, diagrams, and equations to represent, describe, and solve situations involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers that add up to no more than 10.

Check my workFrequently Asked Questions
How many addition problems should my child practice each day?
10-15 problems per day is ideal. Short, consistent daily sessions build addition fluency faster than long, infrequent practice. Focus on accuracy first, then speed.
What addition strategies should my child learn?
Key strategies include counting on, making ten, doubles and near-doubles, and breaking numbers apart (decomposition). Start with manipulatives, then move to mental math.
When should my child have addition facts memorized?
Most curricula expect basic addition fact fluency (sums to 18) by the end of Grade 2. Grade 3-4 students should handle multi-digit addition with regrouping confidently.
