Domino Adds Up To

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features illustrations of domino tiles with a certain number of dots on each half. Students are prompted to count the dots on both halves of each domino, write the individual numbers in the smaller square boxes, and then compute the total sum, writing it in the larger square box. The layout is designed to visually guide the student through the process of addition step by step, from counting individual groups to combining them into a whole.

The purpose of the worksheet is to teach students how to count dots and perform basic addition in a structured and visual way. It encourages the understanding of addition as a process of combining two separate groups of items (in this case, dots) to form a total. This method helps students visualize the concept of addition and serves to reinforce both their counting and arithmetic skills. The use of dominoes adds a familiar game element to the learning process, making it more engaging for young learners.
