This hard worksheet stretches addition thinking with story problems and missing addends. Multiple-choice questions ask how many stickers Tom started with if he got 3 more and now has 10, which pair does NOT add up to 10 (with choices like 8 + 2 and 6 + 3), and how many eggs a bird has after laying 8 more on top of 1. Fill-in-the-blank items like ___ + 9 = 10, 5 + ___ = 7, ___ + 4 = 8, and ___ + 2 = 10 require children to reverse familiar facts.

Mixing real-world contexts with abstract missing-addend equations strengthens the algebraic thinking first graders will lean on for subtraction and fact families.
