How to Use This Worksheet

Each problem presents a short sentence describing an addition situation. Students read (or listen to) the problem, identify the numbers, and write the sum. This connects abstract addition to real-world meaning.

In the Classroom

Read problems aloud for Pre-K or early K students. For more independent K and 1st graders, have them read and solve on their own. Great for integrating literacy and math instruction.

At Home

Read each problem aloud with your child. Ask them to picture the story in their head. Use fingers or toys to act out the situation, then write the answer together.

Tips for Success

• Read problems aloud for students who are still learning to read
• Encourage students to underline the numbers in each problem
• Have students draw a picture to represent the problem if stuck
• Discuss what "and" and "more" mean in math contexts
