Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an educational resource for teaching students how to find missing addends in addition equations using a number line. The number line at the top of the worksheet spans from 0 to 12 and serves as a reference for multiple addition problems below it. Each problem presents one part of the addition equation with either the first or second addend missing, and the sum is provided. Students are expected to determine the missing number that, when added to the given number, will result in the sum indicated.

The worksheet is aimed at reinforcing students’ understanding of the relationship between addends and sums. It helps students practice the concept of ‘making ten’ and other foundational addition combinations by encouraging them to think about what number needs to be added to the given addend to reach the sum. By engaging with this exercise, students develop their mental math abilities and improve their problem-solving skills. The number line serves as a visual aid, supporting students in conceptualizing the distance between numbers and understanding how they can be combined through addition.
