About this resource

Description

Adding three is a small, friendly step up from adding one and two, and this adding three using pictures worksheet gives Kindergarten students a picture to count for every problem. Each card shows a group of objects, then three more objects set a little apart, and the child counts the whole row to find the sum. The gap between the two groups is what turns counting into adding: the child keeps the first number in mind, counts on three more, and says 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 shiny apples, sprinkled donuts and striped play balls, each with three more added at the end. The last four are plain number sentences, so children move from counting pictures to working with numbers on their own. Every sum stays within ten, right where Kindergarten addition lives. Print the sheet, read the two short directions aloud, and let students touch 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 three. First, the pictures carry each problem, so a child who cannot yet add from memory can still get every answer right by counting, and success comes before speed. Second, the three added objects always sit as their own small group, which builds the habit of counting on from a number instead of starting over at one. Third, the sheet ends with number sentences that have no pictures, so the child practices the same facts in the form they will meet on every later addition page. Working through this adding three using pictures worksheet takes a Kindergarten student about ten minutes.

Teachers and parents can take the skill beyond the page. Set three counters beside a small pile of buttons and let a child build each problem before writing it. Roll a number cube, say the number, then count on three with fingers. Hunt for groups of three around the room and add them to what is already on the table. Sing the Adding 3 song below together, and keep a jar of small objects handy so a child can always check an answer by counting.
