Animal Addition

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a math exercise focused on addition, where each problem is accompanied by three possible numerical answers and a corresponding set of animal images to represent the numbers being added. The animals are grouped according to the numbers in the problem, offering a visual aid for counting. Students are instructed to solve the addition problems and then circle the correct answer from the options provided. The top of the worksheet has a space for the student’s name, indicating personal use, likely in a classroom or for homework.

The worksheet is designed to teach students basic addition skills by providing a visual representation of the numbers in the form of animals, which can make the abstract concept of addition more concrete and engaging. By counting the animals, students learn to associate numerical values with physical quantities and to choose the correct sum from the options. This method of teaching is helpful for reinforcing counting skills, number recognition, and understanding the additive relationship between numbers. It also encourages decision-making as students must determine which of the provided sums is correct.

Use the collection of animals to determine the total number found in each box.  Make sure to circle the number that represents that sum.
