How to Use These Worksheets

Students count the objects in each group, then write the total number on the line. Each row shows a different set of picture objects, keeping sums within 5 so young learners can build confidence with addition concepts.

In the Classroom

Use these during math centers or as morning work for students learning to add. The picture-based format helps students connect counting to addition by seeing concrete quantities. Perfect for Pre-K and early Kindergarten learners.

At Home

Help your child count real objects — toys, snacks, or crayons — and combine small groups together. Then use the worksheet to practice writing the totals. This bridges hands-on counting with written math.

Tips for Success

• Encourage students to touch or point to each object as they count
• Have students say the total out loud before writing
• Use real objects alongside the worksheet for hands-on reinforcement
• Use the answer key for immediate feedback
