Spiders on a Web

Worksheet Description

This worksheet displays several spider web illustrations, each with a different number of spiders on them, located above a set of three numbers. Students are instructed to color the number that is one more than the number of spiders depicted in each web. The numbers provided offer a choice of three, only one of which is the correct answer. By completing this task, students need to count the spiders and then identify which of the three numbers is one higher.

The purpose of this worksheet is to enhance the students’ counting skills and introduce them to the basic concept of addition by focusing on the next sequential number. It aims to strengthen number recognition as students must discern between the written numerals. The worksheet also serves to develop critical thinking, as children must analyze and compare the number of spiders to the written numbers. Furthermore, it encourages the practice of coloring within a specified area, which can help refine motor skills.
