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

Bring hands-on, conceptual addition into your maths continuous provision and masterclasses with this Bridging Through 10 Worksheet Packet! This interactive resource is specifically designed to help Key Stage 1 (KS1) students master the “make a ten” mental math strategy by visually decomposing small addends to cross the ten threshold.

Instead of relying on passive rote learning, these worksheets encourage active problem-solving. Students look at the addition calculation, use the built-in number bond branch lines to split the smallest number, build a friendly ten, and write their final sum in the solution box.

What is Included in This Digital Download?

  • Page 1: Addition Calculations 1–8: Core introductory calculations featuring equations like 9+3, 8+4, 6+5, and 7+4.
  • Page 2: Addition Calculations 9–16: Continued fluency practice and strategy reinforcement with calculations like 8+8, 5+9, 7+6, and 5+7.
  • Pages 3 & 4: Complete Visual Answer Keys: Full-page solutions displaying the exact number bond partitioning breakdowns (e.g., splitting the 3 into 1 and 2 to bridge 9 to 10) for effortless grading or pupil self-checking stations.
  • Ink-Friendly, High-Contrast Design: Clean, black-and-white layouts that look beautiful when printed onto standard paper or vibrant, coloured cardstock.

Mastery Learning Outcomes:

  • The “Make a Ten” Strategy: Visually partitioning and decomposing addends to cross the ten boundary.
  • Part-Part-Whole Reasoning: Developing a deeper understanding of part-part-whole numerical relationships using explicit branch lines.
  • Addition Fact Fluency: Building absolute confidence and speed with trickier addition facts within 20.

Perfect For:

  • Maths Service Stations & Continuous Provision Rotations
  • Small-Group Guided Maths Interventions & Catch-Up Support
  • Early Morning Work, Settling Activities, or Daily Maths Review
  • Fast Finishers & Gifted/Talented Extension Tasks
  • Special Educational Needs (SEN) Tactile and Visual Provision

Curriculum Framework Alignment:

  • UK National Curriculum (Key Stage 1): Year 1 & Year 2 Number - Addition and Subtraction (“Add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero”).
  • White Rose Maths Friendly: Matches the conceptual progression used in White Rose Maths Hub schemes of work for crossing 10.

Classroom Prep Tips:
This is a zero-prep, print-and-go resource! Simply print out a class set of pages 1 and 2 for an independent lesson block. Alternatively, slide the printed worksheet pages into plastic write-and-wipe sleeves for a reusable maths provision station that pupils can complete using dry-erase whiteboard pens
