Addition Concepts Worksheet for Preschoolers
Preschoolers ages 4-6 build early number sense by visually combining two small groups into one total, the concrete foundation every later addition fact depends on. Seeing objects physically joined together, rather than just numbers on a page, helps children grasp that addition means 'putting together' before they ever memorize a sum.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first example together and count each group of pictures out loud, then count the combined total to show how addition works. Move through each problem the same way: count the first group, count the second group, then count everything together to find the answer. Write the total number in the box provided, saying the full addition sentence aloud, like 'two plus three equals five,' as you go.
