Each row shows two groups of the same picture with a plus sign between them. Your child counts all the pictures and writes the total, so the equation at the end of the row stops being abstract: 3 + 4 really means three things and four more. At the bottom, your child draws a small addition story and solves it. Kindergartners are expected to show addition with objects and drawings and to solve sums within 10, and linking the picture to the equation is exactly that skill.

Short descriptions in our own words. About our standards.
Ask your child to count the first group, then keep counting into the second group instead of starting again at 1. That is counting on, and it is faster. If an answer is off by one, the usual cause is skipping a picture or counting one twice; lightly crossing off each picture while counting fixes both. Read each finished equation aloud together: three plus four equals seven.
Easier: Put real objects on top of the pictures and slide them together into one pile before counting. Work through the first three rows only.
Harder: Cover the pictures and ask your child to solve each equation from the numbers alone, then check by uncovering. Try writing each turnaround fact, like 4 + 3.

It is made for Kindergarten (ages 5-6). The level is ★ easy, so it works well as a first practice page.
About 15 minutes. Young children can do it in two short sittings with a break in between.
