Addition and subtraction within 10 - Addition symbol - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help children develop fluency and precision in addition within the number range of 10. The task involves interpreting pictorial representations and translating them into number sentences using the addition symbol. The worksheet presents a series of images that children must analyze to determine the sum of the objects shown. Each image corresponds to a simple addition problem that the children are expected to solve, such as "4 + 3 = 7" or "5 + 5 = 10". The aim is to familiarize students with the concept of addition and to reinforce their understanding of the addition symbol as a way of combining two numbers to find a total.

In addition to the pictorial problems, the worksheet also includes a section where children must identify the number of hidden objects based on given sums. For example, they are presented with equations such as "3 + 7 = 10" and "5 + 6 = 11", where they need to work out the missing numbers. This exercise helps to strengthen their problem-solving skills and encourages them to think critically about the relationship between the addends and the sum. The worksheet is interactive, allowing students to cut out strips or cards and write the corresponding number sentences in their books, thus providing a hands-on learning experience that supports their mathematical development.
