Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a subtraction activity designed for young learners, featuring various aquatic and land animals as visual aids. Students are given a set of pictures representing two groups of animals, and they must identify how many animals are in each group. They are then asked to calculate the total number of animals by adding the two groups together. The answers are to be written in the blank squares provided next to each set of pictures.

The worksheet is meant to help students practice addition within the number 5 using visual cues. By counting the animals in each picture, students can visually comprehend the concept of addition as combining two groups into one larger group. This type of exercise is particularly helpful for reinforcing counting skills and for helping children to understand the process of combining quantities. Additionally, the use of familiar animals makes the activity engaging and assists in holding the attention of young students as they learn basic arithmetic.
