This first set of kindergarten math worksheets features sweet treats that will definitely grab your young mathematician’s eye!
To complete, point to the box full of goodies and have your child count each group. Write the numbers in the boxes.
Then find the sum by counting all of the items at once.
This simple worksheet features more sweet treats – ice cream cones!
Have your child count each group, write out the addition problems, and find the sum.
If your child has a hard time with missing objects or double counting, encourage him to use a pencil to mark each item as he counts.
This kindergarten math worksheet is beary cute!
Have your child count the bears and write the sum on the line.
As an added activity, ask your student if she can see how many bears are in a group without counting. This skill is called subitizing and is essential for building number sense and other math skills.
I hope your young ones enjoy safari animals!
Here your child will count each of the groups of animals, write the number sentence, and find the sum.
To complete this worksheet, have your child read each addition equation. Use the example to show your child how to circle the number of bugs in each addend.
Then have your child count to find the total sum.
The ladybug question is a great way to show a child how to add with zero. If you start with 1 bug and add nothing, you still have one bug.
Simple concept, but zero can be surprisingly confusing for some kids.
This black and white sheet will be easy on your printer and a new way to practice simple equations.
Have your child add together the two groups of fruit and then draw a line to the correct sum.
If there is time, throw out some crayons and color all the fruit.
Practice time with doubles addition is a very important skill for kids as they learn number bonds.
The above fun addition worksheets will help your child to focus on those particular facts. One has a fun carnival theme and one has a dinosaur theme.
Does your kid like games? Give them a pair of dice to roll.
Have the child write the numbers from the roll on this worksheet in the boxes. Add the dots together (or count all the dots) to get the sum.
To up the competition, take turns rolling the dice and see who gets the highest sum!
If you don’t have a set of dice, use this worksheet instead.
Have the child count each of the dots to solve the problem.
This is also a good worksheet to help your child start recognizing numbers as a group (subitizing).
Using a number line is another easy way to help kids solve an addition math problem.
Encourage the child to use their finger or a pencil to jump forward to find the answer to each question.
This visual aid can help so much for kids to understand the relationship between numbers.
****When introducing the number line, make sure it is very clear that the child starts counting on the *next* number. For example, if the child is solving 3+2, they may put their finger on the “3” and say “one, two.” This will leave them landing on “4” which would not be the correct answer. I used to tell my own kids to count the number of jumps, not the actual numbers on the number line.
The rest of these free kindergarten worksheets do not have objects to count.
Your child may be able to complete them by memorizing the facts, mental math skills, or with manipulatives.
It may be fun to bring out candy as a motivating, fun option!
Praise your child for how many they can get right, and just keep working on the ones that stumped them.
I just love this super sweet penguin math worksheet.
Have your child write the answer to each addition problem in the small gray rectangle that the penguin is standing on.
Consider using a few simple flash cards to drill your child on some of the more simple facts to make these worksheets go faster.
If that sounds awful for a kindergartener, check out these flash card games!
If your child is sailing on through learning her facts, introduce this challenging worksheet.
See if the child knows the facts well enough that she can remember the number missing in each simple equation.
This type of problem is also an excellent precursor for introducing subtraction problems.
This worksheet also asks for your child to find the missing number in each equation.
If your child feels overwhelmed, use a number line to help your child count forward and find the missing number.
You could also mention the concept of number families and the number that “go together.”
This is the last of my free kindergarten math worksheets!
Your child will be delighted to answer each of these simple addition word problems. Each one is centered on a favorite treat – doughnuts!
These word problems are such a fun way to make adding even more concrete for your little one. It helps them visualize real objects in their mind, building mental math skills and confidence!
Definitely consider providing a real donut when they’re done!
