About this resource
Description
This adding 4 word problems worksheet helps 1st grade students turn short stories into addition. Each story starts with a small group of objects and then adds four more, so kids practice the +4 facts inside a real setting they can picture, such as stickers in a book, books on a shelf, or boats on a lake.
About This Worksheet
Students read five one-line stories out loud. Under each story, the number sentence is already started, so children only need to find the new total and write it on the line. The sums run from 7 to 13, which fits first grade addition within 20. A bright picture of a calm lake sits at the bottom of the page and ties back to the boat story. Use the adding 4 word problems worksheet in a math center, as a quick warm-up, or for homework.
What’s Included
- Five adding 4 word problems with started number sentences
- Large writing lines sized for first grade handwriting
- A full-color picture of a lake
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, it connects each +4 fact to a story, so children see why they add, not just how. Second, repeating the same addend five times builds quick recall of the plus-four facts. Third, reading the stories out loud strengthens math vocabulary such as more and total. It makes a handy first grade addition worksheet for any word problem unit.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Give children counters, cubes, or crayons to act out each story before they write the total. For an extra step, cover the printed number sentence and ask a student to write the whole equation alone. Invite each child to make up a sixth story about adding four, then trade papers with a partner and solve each other’s problem.
