Gumballs

Worksheet Description

This worksheet displays several outlines of candy machines, each containing a different number of gumballs. The students are asked to draw one more gumball inside each candy machine and then count all the gumballs, including the one they added. After counting, they need to write the total number of gumballs in the blank box next to each candy machine. The activity is designed to be interactive, combining drawing with counting to make the learning process engaging.

The worksheet aims to teach students the concept of addition by one in a tangible and visual way. By drawing an extra gumball, students practice incrementing a set and visually assess the result. This exercise helps to reinforce number recognition and counting skills in a fun context. Additionally, it provides practice in fine motor skills through drawing and enhances their ability to connect an action (adding a gumball) with the mathematical concept of addition.
