Beginning to Add - Worksheet

The "Beginning to Add" worksheet is a fundamental resource designed to introduce young learners to the concept of addition. The worksheet presents a simple, clear task: students are asked to add two groups of items together by employing the counting on strategy. This method encourages children to start with one number and count up from there, which is a foundational skill in early arithmetic. Each question presents two numbers, ranging from 6 to 10, and students are required to find the sum by adding the second number to the first.

The worksheet is structured to provide a sequence of addition problems, each with a blank space for students to write their answer. To facilitate learning and ensure understanding, an accompanying answer sheet is provided, displaying the correct sums for each of the problems. For example, when the numbers 6 and 5 are given, the answer would be 11. This worksheet serves as a practical tool for teachers to assess and reinforce students' ability to perform basic addition. Additionally, a colouring page is included as an engaging activity to further enhance the learning experience, making the process of learning to add both educational and enjoyable for the children.
