A no-prep printable worksheet that introduces students to the bridging through 10 strategy. The exercises have addition problems (with numbers within 20) that can be solved by splitting the smallest number to make ten with the largest number. There are 34 problems. Solutions are included.

Help your early elementary students master mental math and addition strategies with this comprehensive, classroom-ready worksheet package. This resource features 20 carefully designed addition problems focusing on numbers 1 through 20. By filling in the missing numbers to cross the ten threshold, students build strong number sense and foundational fluency. A complete, step-by-step solution key is included for every problem to make grading or self-checking effortless.

What is Included in This Download?

  • 20-Problem Student Worksheet: A clean layout featuring guided boxes where students find the missing numbers to visualize the splitting and bridging process.
    *** Complete Step-by-Step Answer Key**: A full solution guide displaying exactly how each missing number splits to bridge through ten.

Key Learning Features
This resource uses a scaffolded box structure to guide students through the mental addition process:

  1. Missing Number Decomposition: Students look at the equations and fill in the missing boxes to split the smaller number strategically (for example, splitting 3 into 2 and 1 to help add to 8).
  2. Bridging Through Ten: Prompts students to complete the primary ten frame first before adding the remaining digits (such as 9 + 1 + 1 = 11).
  3. Visual Scaffolding: Clean, distinct arithmetic boxes keep student calculations organized and neat.

Teacher Benefits

  • Zero Prep Required: Simply print the high-quality PDFs and hand them straight to your class.
  • Independent Practice Made Easy: The clear formula example at the top of the page serves as a visual anchor, allowing students to work independently.
  • Perfect for Small Groups or Homework: Great for math centers, daily morning work, tier 2 math interventions, or extra homework practice.
