About this resource
Description
The Adding Two Count the Circles Worksheet teaches one of the first real addition strategies a young child owns: counting on. Six picture cards each show a group of circles, a clear gap, and two more circles, with the matching number sentence printed underneath. A child counts what is there, counts on two, and writes the sum. Four more number sentences follow with no picture support, so the same idea has to travel from the objects to the numbers.
Adding two is worth its own page because it is the step where counting on replaces counting all. The gap between the two groups of circles on this Adding Two Count the Circles Worksheet is deliberately wide, so a Kindergarten child sees three and two rather than a run of five dots, and the picture stops being something to recount from one. Every sum on the page stays within ten, which is exactly the Kindergarten addition range. This kindergarten addition worksheet works as a whole-class warm up, a math centre, or a quick check before moving on to adding three.
What’s Included
- Six picture cards with counted circles and a printed number sentence
- Four number sentences with no picture support, taking the sums up to ten
- Large, clearly separated circles sized for young eyes
- A complete answer key with every sum filled in
- A print-ready PDF sized for standard letter paper
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- The wide gap between the groups pushes children toward counting on instead of counting all.
- The picture and the number sentence sit together, so the objects and the symbols connect.
- The second section removes the picture, which is the step that shows whether the idea has stuck.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
- Have children touch and count the first group out loud, then whisper the two extra.
- Cover the picture on one card and ask whether the answer still works.
- Build each card with counters before writing anything down.
- Ask children to make up one more adding two problem for a partner.
