Description
Adding four is one of the first addition facts a young child learns to trust, and this adding four using pictures worksheet gives Kindergarten students a picture to count every single time they need one. On each problem the child sees a group of objects, then four more objects set a little apart from that group, and counts the whole row to find the sum. That small gap between the two groups is what quietly turns counting into adding: the child learns to hold the first number in mind, count on four more, and say how many there are in all.
This kindergarten addition worksheet is a two-page printable with seven problems. The first three are picture problems built on rows of cookies, oranges and strawberries, each with four more added at the end. The last four are plain number sentences on the same facts, so children move from counting real pictures to working with numbers on their own. Every sum stays within ten, which is exactly where Kindergarten addition lives. Print the sheet, read the two short directions aloud, and let students point to and count each picture before they write the sum on the line.
What is Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- 1 complete answer key
- 3 picture problems with objects to count
- 4 number sentences for practice without pictures
- Sums within 10, written for Kindergarten
There are three reasons this sheet helps children learn to add four. First, the pictures carry the whole problem, so a child who cannot yet add from memory can still answer every question correctly by counting, and success comes before speed. Second, the four added objects are always drawn as their own little group, which builds the habit of counting on from a number instead of starting again at one. Third, the sheet ends with number sentences that have no pictures at all, so the child practises the same facts in the abstract form they will meet on every later addition page. Working through this adding four using pictures worksheet in one sitting takes a Kindergarten student about ten minutes.
Teachers and parents can stretch the skill well past the page. Put four counters beside a small handful of buttons and let a child build each problem before writing it. Play a quick add four game with a number cube: roll it, say the number, then count on four with fingers. Hunt for groups of four around the room and add them to whatever else is on the table. Sing the addition song below in the car, and keep a jar of small objects handy so a child can always check an answer by counting.
