**********
After reflecting over my first year in first grade and reflecting over the fact that I STRUGGLED through new math curriculum, I realized my students really really REALLY need help with missing addends! So I created some quick checks/quizzes that we can practice as a whole and in centers!
There are several ways you can use this in your classroom.
You can time your students {when I do timed tests, especially in 1st grade, I give them A TON of time to start with to build confidence, like 2 minutes}.
I like to laminate quick facts like this and place them in centers. I give them a sand timer {affiliate link} and they time themselves 🙂 They LOVE it.
There are 50 quick checks in all! Each number {1-10} has 5 checks.
There are 5 forms per number.

I love the idea of using a sand timer in the centers. These days my middler schoolers all want to use their phone but this is better! 🙂

I did something similar to this when I taught First Grade! I love your idea of having them complete during centers AND keeping the strips small. This is definitely a skill that many First Grade kiddos struggle with!

I love how you created something that really addressed your students needs! Such a great activity!!
Mindy Thomas says
That IS such a hard thing for kiddos to grasp! They still struggle with just knowing their facts, and then to have to turn around their thinking and figure out a missing addend is so tough. This looks like an awesome product. 2nd grade math is where my heart is – but I am moving to 4th grade this year!!! BTW – thanks so much for helping host these challenges. I have been trying like CRAZY to link up with other bloggers and feel "in." If you are going to Vegas, I hope I come across ya!

Missing addends are such a hard concept for kids to get. Your packet looks great! Thanks for hosting this challenge. It's really fun!

I NEED this! What a amazing idea. I just got so many wonderful ideas of how to use this this year when I try to implement guided math!
