Worksheet Description

This worksheet displays three groups of images, each portraying a different set of objects: pencils, ice cream bars, and candy. On the left-hand side of the worksheet, there are two blank spaces labeled “One more” and “One less” where students are expected to write their answers. Students are instructed to count the number of images in each set and then determine and record the numbers that are one more and one less than the counted amount. The design of the worksheet is simple and clear, making it easy for students to understand what is expected of them.

The objective of this worksheet is to enhance students’ counting abilities and introduce them to basic addition and subtraction concepts. By counting the objects and calculating the numbers that are one more and one less, students practice incrementing and decrementing numbers by one. This activity helps students understand the numerical relationships between consecutive numbers. It serves as a foundational exercise for developing number sense and arithmetic skills in early education.
