Balloon Bunch Math Bash

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a fun and engaging activity that allows children to interact with numbers through a creative task. The worksheet shows clusters of colorful balloons with a plus sign next to them, inviting the students to draw additional balloons to reach a total of ten. Below each balloon cluster, there’s an equation box where “10” is the sum, and the number of balloons already shown is the first addend. The students’ job is to draw the missing balloons and write the number of balloons they’ve added in the blank space to complete the equation.

By incorporating drawing into the lesson, it taps into the children’s love for art and creativity while reinforcing their counting and addition skills. This worksheet also helps to build number sense by enabling students to visually understand how different quantities sum up to make ten. It serves as a playful way to introduce the idea of ‘completing the ten,’ which is a foundational mathematical principle.
