It practises representing addition as two drawn groups — 5 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core K.OA.A.1: Show adding and taking away using objects, fingers or drawings. The instruction to pupils is “Count both groups. How many altogether?”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.1 — K.OA.A.1, in the Operations & Algebraic Thinking domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds, acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Adding with Pictures to 5 is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on K.OA.A.1, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 5 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 versions, of which 24 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two pupils still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.
Yes. Adding with Pictures to 5, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
