Worksheet Practice Problems
1 Zero Facts Practice
Section A: Zero Facts (0 + n = n)
0 + 0 = ___ 0 + 1 = ___ 0 + 2 = ___
0 + 3 = ___ 0 + 4 = ___ 0 + 5 = ___
0 + 6 = ___ 0 + 7 = ___ 0 + 8 = ___
Zero Property Practice:

Remember: any number plus zero equals the same number

Example: 0 + 5 = 5

Practice these facts until they become automatic

Answers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Practice Tips:

These are the easiest addition facts to remember. Master them first!

Key Rule:

Adding zero doesn't change the value of any number (0 + n = n).

2 Doubles Facts Practice
Section B: Doubles Facts (n + n = 2n)
1 + 1 = ___ 2 + 2 = ___ 3 + 3 = ___
4 + 4 = ___ 5 + 5 = ___ 2 + 2 = ___

These facts are easier to remember because they're symmetrical

Practice until you can recall them instantly

Answers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 4, 2, 6, 8
Practice Tips:

Doubles facts have a rhythm that makes them easier to remember.

Key Rule:

Doubles facts follow the pattern: n + n = 2n (double the number).

3 Mixed Facts Practice
Section C: Mixed Addition Facts to 10
1 + 2 = ___ 3 + 2 = ___ 4 + 1 = ___
2 + 3 = ___ 5 + 0 = ___ 1 + 4 = ___
2 + 2 = ___ 3 + 1 = ___ 0 + 6 = ___

Advanced Practice and Solutions
4 Missing Addend Problems
Section D: Find the Missing Number
2 + ___ = 5 ___ + 3 = 7 4 + ___ = 8
___ + 2 = 6 1 + ___ = 4 ___ + 5 = 9
3 + ___ = 7 ___ + 1 = 5 0 + ___ = 3
Missing Addend Strategy:

Look at the total (sum) and the known addend

Count up from the known number to the total

The difference is the missing addend

Example: 2 + ___ = 5, so 5 - 2 = 3

Answers: 3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3
Practice Tips:

These problems develop deeper understanding of addition relationships.

Key Rule:

If you know the sum and one addend, you can find the missing addend by subtraction.
