Since the user options are all set to false, I will proceed directly to solving the problem presented in the image.

The task is a "Roll and Add" worksheet for Year 1 students. The instructions say: "Roll a pair of dice. Write down the number. Now solve the question."

However, since we cannot actually roll physical dice, we must interpret the images shown on the worksheet as the result of the roll.

Looking at the top right of each worksheet, there are two dice depicted:
- One die shows 5 dots.
- The other die shows 3 dots.

Therefore, the number to write down (and add) is likely meant to be derived from these dice. But looking at the structure of the problems below, it seems more plausible that the first number in each equation is given, and the student is supposed to roll *one* die to get the second number — or perhaps the dice shown indicate what numbers to use? Let’s re-read the instruction: “Roll a pair of dice. Write down the number.” That’s ambiguous.

Wait — actually, looking again: the title says “Roll and Add”, and then “Roll a pair of dice. Write down the number. Now solve the question.”

But in the equations, there are two boxes: one with a number already filled in (like 5, 10, 6, etc.), and an empty box next to a plus sign. So perhaps the student rolls ONE die to fill in the blank? Or maybe they roll TWO dice and write both numbers? But the equations only have one blank.

Actually, let’s look at the example dice shown: one has 5, one has 3. Maybe those are just decorative? Or perhaps they’re indicating that you can roll either of those numbers?

This is confusing. But here’s another interpretation: perhaps the worksheet expects the student to roll a single die for each row to fill in the blank. Since no specific roll is provided, and this is a static image, maybe we are meant to assume that the dice shown (5 and 3) are the values to use for the blanks? But there are many rows.

Alternatively — perhaps the “pair of dice” refers to rolling two dice once at the start, and using those two numbers repeatedly? But that doesn’t fit because each row has a different starting number.

Let me think differently. In many such worksheets, the idea is that the child rolls a die (or two) and writes the result in the blank. Since this is a digital representation without actual rolling, perhaps we are to simulate rolling a die for each blank? But that would require generating random numbers, which isn't specified.

Wait — perhaps the dice shown at the top (with 5 and 3) are meant to be used as the addends for the entire sheet? But that doesn’t make sense because the left column starts with 5, 10, 6, 9 — not related to 5 and 3.

Another possibility: maybe the student is supposed to choose any number from 1 to 6 for each blank, since dice show 1–6. But again, no specification.

Given the ambiguity, I think the most reasonable approach is to recognize that this is a template where the student fills in the blank by rolling a die. Since we don’t have real rolls, and the instruction says “solve the problem accurately,” perhaps we are to demonstrate how to solve one row as an example? But the user didn’t specify which row.

Looking back at the original request: “Solve the problem accurately.” And the image contains multiple problems. Perhaps we should solve all of them assuming a standard die roll? But that’s arbitrary.

Wait — here’s a better idea: in some versions of this worksheet, the dice shown at the top are meant to be rolled, and their values are used for the blanks. For instance, if you roll a 5 and a 3, you might use 5 for the first few blanks and 3 for others? But that’s not clear.

Alternatively, perhaps the dice are just illustrations, and the student is free to roll any number. Since this is a text-based response, and no specific rolls are given, I think the best course is to explain that the student needs to roll a die for each blank and then add. But since we need to provide answers, let’s assume we roll a die for each blank and record the results.

To make it concrete, let’s simulate rolling a fair six-sided die for each blank. We’ll do this systematically.

There are 8 rows on the left worksheet and 8 on the right, but the right one is identical in structure. Actually, looking closely, the left worksheet has 4 rows visible, and the right has 8 rows. But the left one is cut off. To be thorough, I’ll solve all visible equations on both sheets, assuming a die roll for each blank.

I'll generate random numbers between 1 and 6 for each blank. Let's list them:

Left worksheet (visible part):
Row 1: 5 + [?] = ? → let's say roll 4 → 5+4=9
Row 2: 10 + [?] = ? → roll 2 → 10+2=12
Row 3: 6 + [?] = ? → roll 5 → 6+5=11
Row 4: 9 + [?] = ? → roll 3 → 9+3=12

Right worksheet:
Row 1: 5 + [?] = ? → roll 6 → 5+6=11
Row 2: 10 + [?] = ? → roll 1 → 10+1=11
Row 3: 6 + [?] = ? → roll 4 → 6+4=10
Row 4: 9 + [?] = ? → roll 5 → 9+5=14
Row 5: 11 + [?] = ? → roll 2 → 11+2=13
Row 6: 7 + [?] = ? → roll 3 → 7+3=10
Row 7: 12 + [?] = ? → roll 6 → 12+6=18
Row 8: 8 + [?] = ? → roll 1 → 8+1=9

And similarly for the right column of the right worksheet:
Row 1: 9 + [?] = ? → roll 4 → 9+4=13
Row 2: 8 + [?] = ? → roll 5 → 8+5=13
Row 3: 5 + [?] = ? → roll 2 → 5+2=7
Row 4: 10 + [?] = ? → roll 6 → 10+6=16
Row 5: 6 + [?] = ? → roll 3 → 6+3=9
Row 6: 11 + [?] = ? → roll 1 → 11+1=12
Row 7: 12 + [?] = ? → roll 5 → 12+5=17
Row 8: 7 + [?] = ? → roll 4 → 7+4=11

But this is arbitrary. Perhaps the intended interpretation is that the dice shown (5 and 3) are to be used as the addends for all problems? That doesn't work because the first number varies.

Another thought: maybe "roll a pair of dice" means to roll two dice and add them together, and that sum is written in the blank? But the blank is after a plus sign, so it would be like 5 + (sum of two dice) = ?

That makes sense! Let me check the instruction: "Roll a pair of dice. Write down the number." It says "the number", singular, so probably the sum of the two dice. Then "Now solve the question" meaning add that sum to the given number.

Yes, that fits perfectly. So for each row, the student rolls two dice, adds them to get a number (between 2 and 12), writes that in the blank, then adds it to the given number.

Since we don't have actual rolls, and the image shows dice with 5 and 3, perhaps we should use 5+3=8 as the roll for all? But that seems odd.

Perhaps the dice shown are just examples, and we are to assume a typical roll. But to be accurate, since the image includes dice showing 5 and 3, and the instruction says "roll a pair of dice", I think we should use the sum of those two dice as the value for the blank.

So, sum of 5 and 3 is 8. Therefore, for every row, the blank should be filled with 8, and then we add.

Let's verify with the first row: 5 + 8 = 13. That works.

Second row: 10 + 8 = 18. Good.

Third: 6 + 8 = 14.

Fourth: 9 + 8 = 17.

On the right worksheet, same thing: all blanks are 8.

But is that correct? The instruction says "roll a pair of dice" — implying one roll per problem? Or one roll for the whole sheet? Typically in such activities, you roll once per problem. But since the image shows fixed dice, perhaps for this version, we use the shown dice.

Maybe the dice are meant to be rolled separately for each row, but since it's a static image, we can't know. However, given that the dice are drawn at the top, and no other information, I think the safest assumption is that the student is to use the values shown on the dice for the blanks. But there are two dice, so which one to use? Or sum?

The instruction says "write down the number" — singular — so likely the sum.

Moreover, in the context of addition practice, adding a constant makes sense for consistency.

So I'll go with that: for each equation, the blank is filled with 8 (since 5+3=8), and then we compute the sum.

Let me calculate all:

Left worksheet:
1. 5 + 8 = 13
2. 10 + 8 = 18
3. 6 + 8 = 14
4. 9 + 8 = 17

Right worksheet, left column:
1. 5 + 8 = 13
2. 10 + 8 = 18
3. 6 + 8 = 14
4. 9 + 8 = 17
5. 11 + 8 = 19
6. 7 + 8 = 15
7. 12 + 8 = 20
8. 8 + 8 = 16

Right worksheet, right column:
1. 9 + 8 = 17
2. 8 + 8 = 16
3. 5 + 8 = 13
4. 10 + 8 = 18
5. 6 + 8 = 14
6. 11 + 8 = 19
7. 12 + 8 = 20
8. 7 + 8 = 15

This seems consistent and logical.

Final Answer:
[Since the task is to solve the problems, and we've determined that the blank should be filled with 8 based on the dice shown (5 and 3, summing to 8), the solutions are as calculated above. However, the final answer section should contain the completed equations or the key result. Given the format, perhaps list the sums.]

But the user said "provide only the final correct answer", and since there are many, maybe summarize.

Alternatively, perhaps the expected output is to show one solved example. But to be complete, I'll state that for each problem, adding 8 to the given number gives the answer, and list a few.

But looking at the response format, it says "Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]", so likely a concise summary.

Given that, I'll provide the solution for the first row of the left worksheet as representative, but that might not be sufficient.

Another idea: perhaps the "problem" is to understand how to do it, and the final answer is the method. But the instruction says "solve the problem accurately", implying numerical answers.

I think the best is to box the sum for a specific instance. Since the dice show 5 and 3, and the first equation is 5 + _, perhaps 5 + 8 = 13 is the primary example.

But to cover all, I'll note that all blanks are 8, and the sums vary.

For the sake of providing a final answer, I'll give the solution to the very first equation shown: 5 + 8 = 13.

However, that feels incomplete. Let me see the image again — the left worksheet has "5 + _ =" as the first item, and dice showing 5 and 3, so likely 5 + (5+3) = 5+8=13.

Similarly, for the right worksheet, same thing.

So I'll go with that.

Final Answer:
13
