This easy starter sheet focuses only on addition stories within 10. First graders read three short problems about Mia's crayons, birds in a tree, and Sam and Lily picking apples, then write the sum. A fill-in-the-blank section teaches that 'in all' and 'how many together' mean to add, and a true-or-false item shows that 4 + 3 equals 3 + 4 to introduce the commutative property.
