Addends to Sum

Worksheet Description

This worksheet uses domino tiles as a visual aid for teaching addition. Each problem on the sheet shows a domino, split into two sections, each with a varying number of dots. Students are instructed to count the dots on each side of the domino and write the numbers in the blanks provided, followed by adding those numbers together and writing the sum in the final blank. The addition problems are laid out horizontally to mimic the look of traditional addition problems on paper.

The worksheet is intended to teach students fundamental addition skills by using a concrete visual representation. Counting the dots on the dominoes helps students practice one-to-one correspondence, which is an essential early math skill. The transition from counting to writing numbers and then performing the addition operation reinforces the concept of combining quantities to find a total. This approach is particularly effective for visual learners who benefit from seeing a physical representation of the numbers they are working with.
