🎯 I Can Statement & Success Criteria

I can add and subtract a 1-digit number from a 2-digit number accurately and with confidence.

✅ Success Criteria — I know I am successful when I can:

1. Read each problem carefully and identify whether it is addition or subtraction.

2. Calculate the correct answer for all 5 problems.

3. Show my working out in the space provided.

🔢 Part 1: Solve the Problems

Instructions: Read each problem carefully. Solve it and write your answer on the line. Use the work box to show your thinking. Take your time — there is no rush! 😊

1. 47 + 6 = _____

2. 83 − 5 = _____

3. 65 + 8 = _____

4. 72 − 9 = _____

5. 58 + 7 = _____

💬 Part 2: Reflect & Extend

6. Choose ONE problem from above. Explain in your own words how you solved it. What steps did you take?

🌟 Extension Activity (Challenge — try if you finish early!):

Create your OWN addition or subtraction word problem using a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number. Write the problem AND solve it below.

Example: "There were 34 apples in a basket. 7 were eaten. How many are left?"

🎨 Differentiation Tips (for your teacher):

Support: Allow use of a number line or hundred chart. Pair with a peer buddy. Read problems aloud together.
Core: Complete all 5 problems independently and reflect on one.
Extension: Write their own word problem and explore what happens when they try a 3-digit number minus a 1-digit number.
Dyslexia-Friendly: This worksheet uses large, spaced text. Teachers may also read instructions aloud, allow verbal answers, or print on cream/pastel paper to reduce visual stress.
