  1. Exercise 1: Count the pictures and add. Write how many altogether.

  2. Exercise 2: Some are crossed out. Write how many are left.

  3. Exercise 3: Circle every sum that makes 6.

  4. Exercise 4: Fill in the missing number so that each sum makes 7.

    6 + = 7, 5 + = 7, 4 + = 7

  5. Exercise 5: Join each sum to its answer.

What your child practised

  • Putting two groups together and saying how many altogether, then writing it as a sum: 2 and 4 make 6, so 2 + 4 = 6.
  • Counting on from a number, with fingers, dice, beads or hops along a number path, and seeing that adding 0 changes nothing.
  • Taking away and saying how many are left, counting back, and finding how many are hiding when some are covered.
