CCSS 1.OA.6 Worksheets
CCSS 1.OA.6 (Common Core, 1st Grade): "Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14]; decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9]; using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4]; and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13)." The worksheets below practice this standard. Each one is a free printable PDF with an answer key, comes in multiple versions, and can also be assigned digitally - no login or account needed.
