Picture addition worksheets are the best way to introduce the concept of combining numbers. Before dealing with abstract numerals, children need to see concrete quantities.
How to Use This Worksheet This general practice sheet features a variety of familiar shapes (stars, hearts, circles).
- Count: Have the student count the items in the first group.
- Add: Count the items in the second group.
- Total: Count all items together to find the sum (1-10) and write the number in the box.
This mixed-object approach keeps the activity fresh and helps students generalize the skill of addition regardless of what is being counted.
