Do your students need meaningful practice with addition within 20? Build fact fluency, counting accuracy, and number sense with these addition within 20 puzzles.

As students complete these hands-on puzzles, they match picture models to addition equations. Repeated exposure to visual models builds their number sense, counting strategies, and helps them develop a stronger conceptual understanding of addition.

The puzzles include two levels of difficulty: one-star puzzles with two addends and two-star puzzles with three addends, all within 20. The levels of difficulty are designed to make the puzzles suitable for all members of your class

These puzzles work well for math centers, independent practice, partner work, small group review, and early finishers.

  • Solving addition equations within 20
  • Counting up to 20
  • Matching visual models to written equations
  • Using counting strategies such as counting on or skip counting when appropriate
  • Recognizing addition patterns such as doubles when appropriate

  • independent practice
  • partner work
  • small group review
  • early finisher activity

These puzzles are primarily intended for students in 1st Grade / Year 2. However, they can also be suitable for 2nd-Graders (Year 3) reviewing fact fluency within 20 at the beginning of the school year, and Kindergarten students needing enrichment after adding within 10.
