Apple Seeds

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a series of apple illustrations, each containing a different number of seeds represented by dots. Students are asked to count the seeds in each apple and then add them together, with each addition problem consisting of two apples side by side. A plus sign is placed between the apples to indicate the operation, and an equal sign follows where students can write the total number of seeds. The layout is straightforward, with the problems arrayed in a vertical column down the page, allowing for easy navigation from one problem to the next.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students the basics of addition through a visual and interactive approach. By counting the seeds (dots) in each apple, the students practice their counting skills while also learning to perform simple addition operations. This activity links the concrete task of counting objects with the abstract concept of numerical addition, making it an effective way to introduce young learners to arithmetic. It also helps to develop the students’ ability to visualize numbers and understand that addition is the process of combining quantities.
