Free printable same or different
Same or Different is a comparison worksheet, not a picture-spotting game. Each numbered item shows two small arithmetic expressions, and the child writes Same if the two totals match or Different if they do not. This page has sixteen pairs that mix addition and subtraction with numbers up to twenty. It suits early elementary students who can compute the facts and then judge equality.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the Same or Different answer key?
The solution image on this page lists all sixteen pairs with Same or Different already written. Use it to mark the worksheet or to talk through a pair that surprised your child.
Is this Same or Different printable free?
Yes. Both the worksheet and the answer key download as PNG files at no cost, with no signup. You may print them for personal use and classroom practice whenever you need another copy.
Who is this Same or Different page for?
It is aimed at first and second graders who can add and subtract within twenty and are ready to compare two results. Because the page is about equality, not speed, it also works as a slow, talk-through activity with a parent.
How should I print this so the blanks are easy to write on?
Print at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper in portrait. Leave fit-to-page off so each blank stays long enough for the word Same or Different. Black ink on ordinary copy paper is plenty.
