Hard-1 stretches first graders with comparison and two-step problems within 20. Two Show Your Work problems give a labeled box for Ava's beads and Ben's crayons so kids can track each step. Two more problems are solved without a work box, including a how-many-more comparison about Zoe and Kim's grapes.

A four-item Think About It section connects fact families and reinforces 17 minus 9.

Word Problems: Add & Subtract Within 20
Grade 1
★ Part A: Show Your Work
These problems may need two steps. Use the box to show your work.
1)  Ava has 8 beads. She finds 6 more, then gives 3 to her sister. How many beads does Ava have now?
Answer: 11 beads
2)  There are 15 crayons in a box. Ben takes 7 and then puts 4 back. How many crayons are in the box now?
Answer: 12 crayons
★ Part B: Solve Without a Work Box
Read each problem and write the answer on the line.
1)  Zoe has 13 grapes. Kim has 7 grapes. How many more grapes does Zoe have than Kim?
Answer: 6 grapes
2)  A bus has 18 seats. If 9 seats are taken, how many seats are empty?
Answer: 9 seats
★ Part C: Think About It
Write the missing number or word on each line.
1) If 8 + 6 = 14, then 14 - 6 = 8.
2) To find 'how many more,' you should subtract.
3) 17 - 9 = 8
4) If Sara has 5 fewer stickers than Tom, and Tom has 12, Sara has 7.
