This challenging worksheet pushes first graders past simple counting into early addition and subtraction reasoning. Part A multiple choice asks children to combine 3 red and 4 blue marbles, identify which option shows exactly 9 objects, take 3 fish away from a group of 10, and find a way to make 8 from pairs like 4 + 4.
Part B fill-in items cover 6 eggs in a basket plus 2 on the table, counting backward from 10, decoding a tally of IIII I as 6, and naming 1 more than 9. The mix of word problems and tally reading prepares students to represent quantities flexibly.
