Lining Sums

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of addition problems using flower-like symbols as visual representations for counting. In each problem, two sets of these symbols are separated by a plus sign, indicating that the student should add the two quantities together. Students are instructed to count the total number of symbols in each set and then draw a line to connect the set with the correct sum listed in boxes on the right side of the worksheet. The design uses a variety of colors and shapes to maintain the interest of the student while performing the task.

The objective of this worksheet is to teach students to perform addition with larger numbers by visual means. It aims to enhance their counting skills, particularly with higher quantities that require more attention to detail. The worksheet also fosters the ability to match the visual sum with the correct numerical representation, reinforcing their understanding of numbers and their values. Furthermore, it helps to build the student’s confidence in handling more complex addition without the use of standard numerical equations.
