Each problem shows pictures on both sides of a plus sign. Students count the pictures in each group, then write the sum after the equals sign. This bridges counting with formal addition notation.
Use as a follow-up to pure counting activities. Students ready for this worksheet can count reliably to 5 and are learning what the + and = symbols mean.
Point out the plus and equals signs. Ask your child to count each group separately, then count all objects together to find the total. This builds understanding of what addition means.
