Description
These ten frame addition and subtraction Color by Code worksheets help kindergarten and first grade students practice adding and subtracting within 10. Students use the ten frames to model each equation, find the answer, and follow the color key to reveal a picture.
Designed for print-and-go use, these pages work well during math centers, morning work, independent practice, small-group follow-up, or review. The pictures provide a motivating finish, but the main task remains solving the math accurately.

HOW IT HELPS
Students do more than simply color a picture. They solve each equation using ten frames before following the color key to reveal the picture. This combination of calculation and visual feedback gives students a clear routine they can follow with increasing independence.
For students who need extra support, teachers can model the first problem or provide counters to use with the ten frames. Students who are ready for independent work can solve and check each page on their own.
This ten frame addition and subtraction practice helps students visualize numbers, strengthen number sense, and build confidence solving equations within 10.
