Addition and subtraction within 10 - Adding together - Worksheet

The worksheet focuses on teaching children addition and subtraction within 10 by using the part whole model. This visual approach helps students to add two parts together to find the whole number. To support their understanding, the worksheet provides visuals beneath each part, which serve as a helpful guide for young learners to grasp the concept of addition. For a more hands-on experience, there's an option for children to cut out each part whole model and write the corresponding number sentence directly into their books, allowing for an interactive learning process.

As children become more confident with the part whole model, the worksheet introduces a level of complexity by removing the visuals and encouraging the use of manipulatives to aid their calculations. Additionally, some activities present missing numbers either in the model or the number sentence, challenging students to use their problem-solving skills to find the missing values. This step-by-step approach, from guided visuals to independent problem-solving, is designed to build fluency and precision in basic arithmetic operations. The worksheet also includes a section where children can cut out the models and demonstrate their understanding by creating number sentences in their books, reinforcing the learning objective of the lesson.
