Birthday Cake Candles

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning activity designed for young students to practice basic counting and addition skills. It features images of cakes with varying numbers of candles on top. Students are instructed to draw one more candle on top of each cake and then write the total number of candles in the box provided. Each cake has a different number of candles, allowing for a range of sums.

The worksheet aims to teach students the concept of ‘one more’ in a fun and engaging manner. By adding one additional candle to each cake, students learn to count incrementally and understand the basics of addition. It also helps to improve their fine motor skills through drawing and number writing. Furthermore, the activity reinforces the idea that adding one to a number increases the total by one, laying the groundwork for more advanced arithmetic.
