Each row presents an addition equation with one number missing. Students figure out the missing number and write it in the blank. Some problems show the missing sum; others show a missing addend.
Use after students are comfortable with picture-based addition. This abstract format requires students to think about number relationships without visual supports, building mental math skills.
If your child gets stuck, use fingers or small objects to model the problem. Hold up 4 fingers, then ask how many more to make 5. Then have them write the answer on the worksheet.
