UPDATED February 18, 2013 Please read before purchasing.
Thanks to everyone who has purchased this item. It has become a top favorite from my store. I have given the packet a 'makeover' which includes the following:
1. I have changed the font on each page at the request of a teacher who wanted a more 'kid' friendly font.
2. I have added a number line to each page so that the children can also represent their answer on a number line.
3. I have added one colored mat in each design with blanks for the numbers. You can laminate these and use during small and large group with a wipe-off pen.
4. I updated a few of the clip art pieces using my own artwork.
I hope you like the changes!!
This is a 45 page packet of math story problems,practicing addition to 20. There are 4 different designs and one blank of each design so you can individualize them to meet your students needs. Students record their answer by drawing, filling in an empty 10 frame, and writing out the equation.I work with students at the K/1 level in a resource room as well as regular education classroom. The children really like completing these.
Thank you for downloading my Kindergarten Common Core Story Problems.
**Please note I have two versions of the same packet available, with a slight variation between the two. Set 1 has the 10-frame presented vertically on the pages. Set 2 has the 10-frame presented horizontally.
THIS SET IS THE VERTICAL 10 FRAME VERSION. I am no longer able to offer the horizontal set for free. Please make sure you purchase the correct version for your students.
The following Kindergarten Common Core Standards are practiced by completing these activity pages:
K.CC.3 Counting and Cardinality
Know number names and the count sequence.
3. Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
K.CC.4 Counting and Cardinality
Count to tell the number of objects.
4. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
K.OA.1 Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.
K.OA.2 Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.
I love these. They have really helped my kiddos to think through story problems. Thanks

I can't wait to use these with my Pre-K kids. I would love to see more of these with different themes so I could use them year round.

Great addition packet! I put it on the smart board and we do the problems together and then my kindergarten students go back to their tables and write out the equation and illustrate the problem. I love this. Thanks!
This is great! I love the layout. I would like to see other words used for addition in the story problems. An example would be the word altogether. Also, I would love to have a student cover for their story problem books that they can write their names on.

This was probably my favorite packet to use! The kids really enjoyed reading the number stories and solving the problems.

Very cute! I laminated a cardstock copy of the ones where the students choose the numbers, so we can use dry erase numbers and reuse them with my math groups! Would love a subtraction set!

There is a misspelling on the monkey sheet. Then instead of them. Also, I was wondering are these normally easy for kg students to read? I'm not sure my 5 year old can read the font well. Do you have other options available?
Hi!
Sorry for the delay in replying to you. I have had 2 new grandbabies arrive in the last 2 weeks and one has a heart problem so I have been busy trying to help my daughter.
I introduce the story problems during group time at our morning meeting. I have the colored mats laminated and I use a wipe off marker to change the numbers. We do them for a few days, solving them together before the children complete their own. I then do them in small group but we read it together and then the children solve it.
My students have always been successful with these, and they are all struggling learners.
I will be sure to use a clearer font if I make another set. Thanks for the tip. :)
I have completely revised the packet! Hope you like the changed.

Hi! This set is wonderful. I read in the info that you also have this set w/ horizontal ten-frames. I didn't realize when I purchased this set that it also came horizontally. Is there any way I could switch from this set to set 2. My students (spec ed) are used to the horizontal presentation. This is my first venture into story problems. Thank you so much & I totally understand if the switch is not possible. dbednarsk@yahoo.com
I used this last year for my K and 1 students, that said, you may find it to be too simple for 1st grade. There seems to be so much variation in where these firstie's are in their math. I think they are definitely great as an introduction or for struggling learners.
The CC standard for 1st is:
1.OA.1 Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems
involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking
apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
I love your products and have some things in my buggy for the sale on cyper Monday. Would you mind sharing where you got the cute dotted frame on the word problems product. Thanks Nancy. Shelia

Hi, I purchased this product because it stated K/1st (I'm a first grade teacher), but I can't find the first grade core alignment. Did you have a Kindergarten and a first grade packet? Perhaps I downloaded the incorrect packet.
Hi! The packet also aligns with Grade 1 Math 1.OA.1. Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems. If you would like a few blank masters for adding 3 digit numbers to 20 (1.OA.2. Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20) I can make them for you (one for each design). It will take me a few days to complete as I am attending in-services all week.
If that sounds useful please email me your email address so I can send them to you.

I am confused by the tens frames on your story problems. The tens frames I have used are horizontal and you fill them in with the same rules as you read with--left to right, top to bottom. It would have benefitted me to have them horizontal.
Really? We always use them vertically. Well I previously replied, but I also went to try and fix it for you. I have all of the pages revised with horizontal 10 frames. Please email me at nancyann.nm@gmail.com and I will email it directly to you. Thanks for letting me know your concern. I hope you like the changes I made.
I have worked as an Intervention Specialist for 20 years. I currently work with Kindergarteners (which I LOVE) and I have also taught Preschoolers and 1st graders. Each age level has their unique perks but I think Kindergarten is my favorite.
