Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents an array of colorful vehicles arranged in pairs, with an addition sign between them, prompting students to add the two groups together. Each row contains a different combination of vehicles such as cars, buses, and bicycles, with the task being to calculate the total number of vehicles in each scenario. The right side of the worksheet displays a list of numbers, and students are instructed to draw lines connecting the vehicle groupings to the correct total. This visual approach to addition is intended to engage students by using familiar and interesting items.

The objective of this worksheet is to enhance students’ addition skills through the use of visual representations of numbers. It teaches them to count items in groups and to associate the visual sum with the correct numerical value. This activity also fosters the recognition of numbers and understanding of addition as a concept of combining quantities. Moreover, it promotes the development of fine motor skills as students draw lines to match sums with their answers.
