Adding Ladders

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a colorful educational resource which uses houses with numbered levels to illustrate the concept of number sequencing and composition. Each house represents a different target number, indicated at the roof’s peak, and is filled with a sequence of numbers leading up to the target number. The numbers within each house are arranged in ascending order from the bottom to the top, demonstrating how consecutive numbers add up to the target number.

This worksheet is designed to teach students about number sequences and the concept of addition as building blocks to reach a target sum. It visually represents how smaller numbers combine to form larger ones, which is a foundational concept in understanding addition. By following the numbers in each house, students can see multiple ways to create a specific number by adding the individual units. The exercise also helps to reinforce number recognition and counting skills for early math learners.
