Questions about Adding Stories Within 10

What does the Adding Stories Within 10 worksheet cover?

It practises join-result problems within ten — 6 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core 1.OA.A.1: Solve story problems with adding and subtracting up to 20. The instruction to pupils is “Read carefully, then work out the answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Adding Stories Within 10 practise?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.1 — 1.OA.A.1, in the Operations & Algebraic Thinking domain for Grade 1. The published standard reads: “Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Adding Stories Within 10 is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on 1.OA.A.1, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Adding Stories Within 10 come with an answer key?

Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Adding Stories Within 10 can I print?

25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
