Adding 3 Wheel

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a math activity known as “The Addition Wheel,” where students are given a wheel with numbers from 1 to 12 arranged in the inner circle and a number 3 in the center. The task is to add the central number 3 to each of the numbers in the inner circle and write the correct sums in the blank spaces in the outer circle. Additionally, there are blank circles surrounding the main wheel where students can write their own equations or number sums to further practice addition.

The worksheet is designed to reinforce students’ addition skills, particularly focusing on adding the number 3 to other numbers. It encourages mental arithmetic by having students calculate sums without physical counters or calculators, promoting quick and accurate computation. This activity also helps students to recognize patterns and relationships between numbers, as they repeatedly add the same number. Moreover, by inviting students to write additional equations in the surrounding circles, it engages them in creating their own problems, enhancing their understanding of addition and number relationships.

You will add 3 to each of the addends that are present on the outside wheel.
