About this resource

Description

The Adding Two Using Pictures Worksheet turns the first addition strategy a young child really owns — counting on — into something they can see. Six picture cards each hold a small group of everyday objects, a wide gap, and two more of the same object, with the number sentence printed right underneath. The child counts the first group, counts on two, and writes the sum on the line.

Adding two deserves a page of its own because it is the moment counting on replaces counting all. On this Adding Two Using Pictures Worksheet the split between the two groups is deliberately wide, so a child reads four oranges and two oranges instead of a single run of six, and the picture stops being something to recount from one. Oranges, cookies, buttons, drums, strawberries and daisies keep every card fresh, and each sum stays within ten, the exact Kindergarten addition range. Four number sentences follow with no pictures at all, so the same idea has to travel from the objects to the numerals. This kindergarten addition worksheet fits a whole-class warm up, a math centre, a homework page, or a quick check before adding three.

What’s Included

  • Six picture cards, each with a counted group, a clear gap, and two more objects
  • A printed number sentence and a writing line inside every card
  • Four picture-free number sentences that take the sums up to ten
  • Large, well-spaced pictures sized for young eyes to count
  • A complete answer key and a print-ready PDF on standard letter paper

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

  • The wide split between the groups nudges children into counting on rather than starting again at one.
  • The picture and its number sentence share one card, so objects and symbols connect on the page.
  • The second section takes the pictures away, which is the step that shows whether the strategy has stuck.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

  • Ask children to touch and count the first group out loud, then whisper the two extra.
  • Cover one card’s pictures and check that the answer still holds.
  • Build a card with counters or blocks before anyone writes a number.
  • Invite children to draw one more adding two problem for a partner to solve.
