Description:

Students who need practice performing addition of single digit numbers can use this short worksheet that provides immediate feedback. It is self-checking. While having fun decoding a secret message (and getting immediate, satisfying feedback) young students will complete simple addition problems. (A secondary goal of the worksheet for some students is to use inductive reasoning to notice that when an odd number and an even number are added, the answer is odd. Accordingly, when two odds or two evens are added, the answer is even.)
