Each of these printables gives students the opportunity to decide which operation to use; solve using tally marks, ten frame(s), and/or number line; write the number sentence and answer question in a sentence.

For addition and subtraction within 10, students can also cut and count to solve each problem.

7. 3 blank templates that can be used with your own word problem prompt
