+5 Wheel

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features an educational activity known as “The Addition Wheel,” which is designed to help students practice their addition skills. The wheel consists of several pairs of numbers within adjacent segments, and the task for the student is to add those pairs of numbers and write the sum in the corresponding blank circles surrounding the wheel. The central part of the wheel is highlighted, drawing attention to the operation at hand, which is addition, as indicated by the plus sign.

The Addition Wheel worksheet aims to teach students to recognize patterns in addition and to reinforce the concept of adding adjacent numbers. It provides a visually stimulating method to practice addition, as students must calculate the sums of the numbers on each side of the wheel segments. This type of puzzle encourages critical thinking and problem-solving as students work out the correct totals. Moreover, the activity enhances mental arithmetic skills, a fundamental aspect of early mathematics education.

Add 5 to each of the values and then write the sum on the outer wheel.  You will also choose one equation to write the sum for.
