Happy Bear Number Match

This print-and-go addition worksheet has students solve single-digit addition facts, match each sum to a color key, and complete a hidden-picture scene for math practice and fine-motor control. It builds number sense, addition fluency, fact families, subitizing support, and mental math strategies for grades 1-2.

Learning Goals

Addition Fact Fluency: Solve within-20 style facts using efficient strategies and automaticity.
Number Sense: Connect addends to totals by noticing patterns, doubles, and near-doubles.
Math-to-Visual Coding: Translate answers into a color code to reinforce accuracy and attention.
Focus & Stamina: Strengthen persistence through repeated practice in a playful format.

Classroom & Home Use

No-Prep Practice: Just print and color-ideal for centers, morning work, or early finishers.
Easy Differentiation: Encourage counting-on for support or challenge students to solve mentally.
Built-In Self-Check: The finished picture gives quick visual feedback if colors don’t “fit.”
Motor Skills Boost: Coloring supports pencil control and hand strength alongside computation.

Students gain confidence with addition facts, computation accuracy, and number relationships as they complete the puzzle. The color-by-code format keeps engagement high while reinforcing mental math, fact fluency, and careful checking. It’s a strong option for independent work, small groups, or homeschool routines where consistent practice and focus matter most.
