UKG Addition Worksheets (Ages 5–6)
UKG addition worksheets are practice sheets for children aged 5–6 in Upper Kindergarten (Senior KG) in India. Addition is combining two or more groups of objects or numbers to find a total, using objects, pictures or written number sentences. The sheets on this page cover combining two groups into one, number bonds and doubles, counting on from a number and making ten.
Upper Kindergarten shifts from recognising symbols to using them: children blend letter sounds into words, write short sentences, and solve small addition and subtraction sums instead of only counting objects. Numbers extend to fifty, and the plus and minus signs appear on the page for the first time. Five-year-olds join groups within ten and, for the first time, write the matching number sentence with a plus sign and an equals sign. Worksheets should move from pictures to numbers only across the page, fill number bonds to ten using a ten frame, and start to introduce counting on from the larger number instead of counting both groups from one. Recall of facts without any counting is not the goal yet; a chosen counting strategy is enough.

Let's Solve Word Problems! - Addition Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This word problem worksheet moves children ages 4-6 beyond bare number addition into applied math, asking them to read a short story-style problem, count the objects described, and add the quantities together. Translating words into numbers and then into an equation is a key early step toward algebraic thinking, since it requires children to identify what's being asked before they can solve it. Counting the pictured objects first also keeps the addition grounded in something concrete rather than abstract digits alone.
Addition Fun: Count and Add the Pictures Worksheet!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Counting two separate groups of pictured objects and combining their totals introduces children ages 4-6 to the core concept of addition as joining quantities together, before they ever see an addition sign written out. Writing the final sum in the answer box connects this hands-on counting process to numeral writing, reinforcing that a math answer is a specific, countable quantity rather than an abstract symbol. This picture-based approach to addition builds a concrete foundation that supports later work with number-only equations.
Fruit Addition Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet practices basic addition by having children count two separate groups of fruit and combine the totals into one sum. For four- to six-year-olds, working with pictures of real, countable objects like apples and bananas makes the abstract idea of 'adding' concrete before they're asked to add using numbers alone.
Diwali Sweet Shop Sums: Ten-Frames, Sharing and Number Stories
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children count sweets in ten-frames and find how many more make 10. They share sweets equally onto plates and use pictures to add, subtract and complete number sentences in three short stories.
Mental Addition Worksheet: Add Dots and Find the Total!
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.
Navratri Laddoo Maths: Add, Take Away and Share
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children add two picture groups, take away by crossing out, share laddoos equally between plates and find the missing part of number bonds that make 9.
Golu Doll Fun: Navratri Golu Counting and Sharing Worksheet
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children learn that a golu is a display of dolls on steps set up for Navratri. They count the dolls on each step and find the total, then share cups of sundal among friends and count what is left over.
Addition Worksheet for Kids: Add Horizontally and Vertically!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children ages 4-6 practice basic addition by solving problems arranged both horizontally, like '3 + 2 =,' and vertically, in a stacked column format, building flexibility with the two most common ways addition problems appear in early math worksheets and textbooks. Learning both formats now means neither will feel unfamiliar once formal school math introduces them side by side.
Subtraction Worksheet: Count and Subtract with Fun Objects!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet grounds subtraction in something 4-6 year olds can actually see and count — a group of objects being taken away — rather than starting with abstract numerals and symbols. Because your child has to count the starting group, physically account for the number being subtracted, and then count what's left, this builds real number sense about what subtraction means, not just a memorized fact.
Word Problems Worksheet: Addition Practice for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children ages 4-6 practice applying addition to real-life scenarios by reading short word problems and figuring out what numbers to add together, a skill that bridges basic number facts with reading comprehension and problem-solving. Solving word problems teaches children to translate language into math, a step beyond simply adding numbers already given.
Addition Concepts Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
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.
Mental Addition Worksheet for Kids: Practice Adding Numbers!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet builds mental math fluency by asking children to solve simple addition problems in their heads rather than relying on counters or drawings, strengthening the internal number sense that supports faster, more confident arithmetic. For ages 4-6, moving from concrete counting toward mental calculation is a significant milestone that sets the foundation for later multi-digit addition.
Navratri Counting Worksheet: Count the Festival Fun
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children count small groups of festival pictures and write the number, trace and write the numbers 1 to 9, compare two groups to find the one with more, and colour a set number of diyas.
Diwali Diya Maths: Add the Flames and Find the Missing Diyas
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children add small groups of lit diyas, compare two rows to decide which has more, and work out how many faded diyas are still needed to reach a total. Tia gives a hint to start the first sum.
Addition Worksheet: Adding Numbers with Fun Pictures!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet gives children ages 4-6 practice with simple addition by having them combine two groups of pictured objects and write the resulting total, reinforcing the core idea that addition means putting groups together to find 'how many in all.' Working from pictures rather than numbers alone helps bridge concrete counting to the more abstract number sentences children will encounter as their math skills progress.
Addition Worksheet: Count and Add Objects!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Counting two groups of pictured objects and writing their combined total introduces children ages 4-6 to addition as a concrete, visual process before they work with numbers alone. Because the objects are drawn out rather than represented only by digits, children can physically point and count to verify their answer, building confidence in early math reasoning. Repeated practice with this picture-based format helps children internalize what a plus sign means before they're expected to solve equations without visual support.
Word Problems Worksheet: Addition Practice for Young Learners
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Solving simple addition word problems teaches children ages 4-6 to translate a short story into a number sentence, practicing both reading comprehension and the mechanics of combining two groups into a total.
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.
Addition Fun: Counting and Adding Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet builds foundational addition skills by having children count two separate groups of objects and then combine those counts to find a total sum. For ages 4-6, grounding addition in physical counting of pictured objects, rather than abstract numbers alone, helps children understand that addition means putting two groups together to make a bigger group.

- Write a plus and equals sign in a number sentence
- Count on from the larger number instead of starting at one
How to use these worksheets at home or in class
Two short sheets a day, roughly fifteen to twenty minutes altogether, keeps a five-year-old moving without overload. Alternate an English page with a maths page so neither subject stalls, and let your child attempt the first few items before stepping in.
Start with the sheet that matches what your child can already do, then move one step up. Keep finished sheets in a folder: UKG teachers often ask for evidence of practice, and children like seeing their own progress.
Is your child ready for UKG addition work?
Before this stage a child should write most capital letters from memory, know the sound each letter makes, count objects accurately to twenty, and sit through a full worksheet without needing a break halfway through.
Frequently asked questions
What is counting on and why does it matter for a five-year-old?
Counting on means starting from the bigger of the two numbers and counting up the smaller amount, so 6 + 3 is solved as "6, 7, 8, 9" rather than counting all nine from one. It is faster and less error-prone than counting everything from the start, and it is usually the first real addition strategy a child develops beyond just counting a joined pile. Encourage it by starting with the larger number said aloud before any counting begins.
What should a UKG child be able to do in addition?
Five-year-olds join groups within ten and, for the first time, write the matching number sentence with a plus sign and an equals sign. Worksheets should move from pictures to numbers only across the page, fill number bonds to ten using a ten frame, and start to introduce counting on from the larger number instead of counting both groups from one. Recall of facts without any counting is not the goal yet; a chosen counting strategy is enough. Before this stage a child should write most capital letters from memory, know the sound each letter makes, count objects accurately to twenty, and sit through a full worksheet without needing a break halfway through.
Do these worksheets follow the UKG curriculum?
The sheets cover combining two groups into one, number bonds and doubles, counting on from a number and making ten, which sit inside the NEP 2020 Foundational Stage (NCF-FS 2022) outcomes for UKG. Kindergarten (US), Reception / Year 1 (UK) use the same skills at this age, so the sheets also fit families following those programmes.
Are the UKG addition worksheets free to download?
Yes. Every sheet on this page can be downloaded free as a watermarked PDF after creating an account, up to five downloads a day. The annual membership (₹1000) removes the watermark and the daily limit across the full library of more than 1,000 worksheets and all activity packs.
