This easy sheet keeps the focus on the key words that signal each operation. Children trace total, minus, solve, plus, left, and fewer, then move to four word problems: Sam giving away 5 of his 8 stickers, 6 frogs with 7 more hopping in, a plate of 12 grapes after eating 4, and Lily picking 9 flowers and then 5 more. True-or-false items test 15 - 8 = 7, 7 + 6 = 12, and 11 - 3 = 8 so first graders connect the take-away and put-together language directly to the math facts behind it.
