Dice Addition Worksheet: Add the Spots and Match!
This worksheet builds basic addition fluency by having children count the dots on two dice, add the totals together, and match the resulting sum to the correct number. For four- to six-year-olds, using dice as the counting tool adds a layer of subitizing practice — the ability to recognize a small quantity of dots at a glance without counting one by one — which speeds up addition over time.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first pair of dice together and have your child count the dots on each one, saying the totals out loud. Ask them to add the two numbers together to find the sum, using fingers or counting the dots directly if needed. Have them find that sum among the numbers listed on the right side of the page and draw a line connecting the dice pair to the matching number. Repeat for each set of dice on the page.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Eraser

Good Habits Worksheet for Kids: Tick the Good Behaviors!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 identify and understand good habits and behaviors by looking at pictures paired with short descriptions and deciding which ones show positive actions. Reading or listening to the description alongside the picture also gives early practice connecting written language to real-life behavior.
Am Words Worksheet: Read, Match, and Fill-in the Blanks!
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
This worksheet builds phonics skills within the 'am' word family — words like 'ham,' 'jam,' and 'Sam' — by having children read words aloud, match them to pictures, and fill in missing letters to complete them. For four- and five-year-olds, working within a single rime family like '-am' helps children generalize a decoding pattern they can apply to many new words, rather than sounding out every word from scratch.
Sequence Fun: Writing Numbers in Order Worksheet
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
This worksheet helps children ages 4-5 practice writing numbers in the correct sequence, reinforcing both number recognition and the concept that numbers have a fixed, predictable order. Filling in missing numbers along a row of apples also builds the pattern-recognition skills that underlie later skip-counting and place value work.
Rainy Season Coloring Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 identify and learn about objects and scenes associated with the rainy season, like umbrellas, puddles, and raincoats, while practicing coloring skills that build hand control. Connecting a familiar season to specific vocabulary words gives children concrete language for describing the weather they experience.
Trace and Write Numbers 0-20 Worksheet
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet extends number formation practice across the full range from 0 to 20, giving children repeated tracing and writing practice on both single-digit and two-digit numerals. For four- to six-year-olds, moving past 10 into the teens and twenties is an important milestone, since it introduces the idea that numbers can be built from combinations of digits rather than each needing its own unique symbol.
Letter P Tracing and Coloring Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet builds the fine motor control needed to form the letter P while connecting it to its sound through pictures of objects that start with P, like a pig or a pumpkin. For three- to five-year-olds, repeated tracing combined with sound practice builds the muscle memory and letter-sound association that both come together in early reading and writing.
Wild or Domestic? Animal Sorting Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 learn to differentiate between wild and domestic animals by looking closely at each picture and deciding where the animal lives and how it relates to people. Sorting animals into these two categories builds early classification skills, an important foundation for later scientific thinking.
Over and Under Worksheet: Identifying Object Positions
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 learn and identify the spatial concepts of 'over' and 'under' by examining pictures and deciding which positional word correctly describes what they see. Practicing this distinction builds the vocabulary foundation children need to follow multi-step directions involving location.

Rolling Addition Worksheet for Preschoolers: Dice Game Fun!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Rolling two dice and adding the results teaches children ages 4-6 the core idea of addition as combining two quantities into one total, rather than just memorizing number facts. The physical act of rolling builds excitement around math while requiring them to recognize dice pips or numerals, transfer them to paper, and calculate a sum, connecting concrete play to abstract arithmetic.
Sports Addition Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Featuring sports-themed pictures like balls, bats, and trophies, this worksheet gives children ages 4-6 engaging practice with simple addition, counting two separate sets of objects and combining them into a single total. Using a familiar, high-interest theme like sports can help maintain focus during repetitive counting practice, while still building the same foundational addition skills as any other worksheet.
Roll the Dice Addition Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This dice-based addition worksheet gives children ages 4-6 hands-on practice combining two quantities into a sum, using a physical dice roll to make the abstract idea of addition concrete and random. Rolling, recording, and adding numbers repeatedly builds fluency with numbers 1-6 and reinforces that addition means 'putting together.' The repeated-roll format also builds working memory as children hold two numbers in mind to combine them.
Addition Worksheet: Find and Write Equations!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Writing an addition equation from a picture — rather than solving one that's already written — asks children ages 4-6 to translate a visual quantity into mathematical symbols, a more demanding skill than simply computing a given sum. This worksheet has children count grouped objects, represent what they see as a written equation, and then solve it, connecting concrete counting to abstract number sentences. Practicing this translation step is exactly what builds true number sense, rather than just memorized addition facts.
Penguin Addition Worksheet for Preschoolers: Counting and Circling
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Counting groups of penguins, combining them, and circling the correct sum from several options builds early addition fluency for children ages 3-5, using a fun animal theme to keep counting practice engaging.

Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet bridges concrete counting and mental addition by having children count visible dots, add them to a given number, and then draw missing dots to complete equations, reinforcing that addition means combining quantities together. For ages 4-6, physically drawing the missing dots makes the abstract equation tangible, helping cement the connection between a math symbol and what it actually represents.

Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
Counting bricks loaded on two trucks and adding the totals together teaches children ages 4-5 basic addition through a playful, visual context that makes the abstract idea of combining quantities easier to grasp. This truck theme also keeps counting practice engaging for children who love vehicles, building both number sense and sustained attention.
Apples to Basket: Sorting Math Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet combines basic addition and subtraction practice with sorting skills as children ages 4-6 solve a math problem written on each apple, then decide which basket it belongs in based on whether the answer is more or less than a target number. Categorizing numbers by size after calculating them adds a layer of number-sense reasoning beyond simply finding the right answer.
