Questions about Break Apart 8

What does the Break Apart 8 worksheet cover?

It practises decompositions of eight — 10 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core K.OA.A.3: Break numbers up to 10 into two parts in different ways. The instruction to pupils is “Fill in the missing part”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Break Apart 8 practise?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.3 — K.OA.A.3, in the Operations & Algebraic Thinking domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Break Apart 8 is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on K.OA.A.3, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Break Apart 8 come with an answer key?

Yes. All 10 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 Break Apart 8 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.

Is Break Apart 8 free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Break Apart 8, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
