About this activity
What your child practises
Skills: Missing numbers within 10.
Quick, accurate calculation and recall of number facts, building the fluency harder maths depends on.
What’s included
- 20 questions
- An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
- An on-screen version with instant marking and stars
Age and school year
Made for ages 5–7. That’s Kindergarten – Grade 2 in the US, Year 1–3 in England, Nursery 2 – Primary 2 in Nigeria and UKG – Class 2 in India.
How to use it
- Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.

- Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
- Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Let your child mark the sheet with the answer key; spotting their own mistakes is a skill in itself.
- Time one try, then beat it a few days later – children love racing their own best rather than others.
- Ask your child to teach you one thing from the sheet; explaining is a great test of understanding.
