Description
Build fluent within-20 skills with clean, kid-friendly input–output function tables. Students practice addition & subtraction using three progressive sections—Follow the Rule, Find the Rule, and Missing Cell Mix—with a dedicated Equation box so learners can “show their work.” Perfect for whole group, centers, small group, sub plans, homework, or quick checks. B&W, ink-friendly, no prep.
What’s Inside
- 18 student pages (Within 20) organized into 3 sections
- Follow the Rule (P1–P6): +10, +5, +9; −1/−2, −5, −9 (near-ten)
- Find the Rule (P7–P12): infer the rule from input→output; includes mixed/per-row and missing inputs
- Missing Cell Mix (P13–P18): given rule→missing output, given rule→missing input, missing rule, mixed & review
- Consistent layout: each page = 2 tables × 4 rows with Input | Equation | Output (or Input | Output | Rule | Equation for Find-the-Rule)
- Answer Keys for every page for quick grading
- Teacher tips on near-ten strategies (+9 = +10 − 1, −9 = −10 + 1)
- US Letter • PDF • B&W (print-and-go)
Skills & Focus
- Add/Subtract within 20 using mental strategies (±10, ±5, ±1/±2, near-ten ±9)
- Pattern recognition in function tables
- Explaining thinking with an Equation box (show your work)
How to Use
- Model the first example row, then have students apply the same rule to complete the table (P7–P10, P12).
- Use Missing Cell Mix for spiral review, stations, or exit tickets.
- Pair with number lines (0–20) for near-ten problems.
Standards Alignment (K–2)
- 1.OA.C.6 (Add/Sub within 20; fluency via strategies)
- 2.OA.B.2 (Mental strategies; fact fluency)
- Extends foundations toward 2.NBT.B.5 when ready
Printing & Prep
- B&W, ink-friendly design
- 1 page = 2 tables × 4 rows (large writing space for primary students)
- Clear Rule banner/box on each table (where applicable)
