What's on the worksheet
Solve the problem in each square. Color by the code.
Solve. Write the answer.
Write an addition problem that equals 5. ★
Skills practiced
Color by sum turns a page of addition facts into a picture puzzle, so the practice feels like a game. Every square has a fact with a sum to 9, and the color code tells your child which color goes with each answer. Because the mitten only appears when the facts are right, the page checks itself. The short tasks underneath move from solving facts to inventing one, which shows your child can think about addition in both directions.
Common Core K.OA.A.1: Showing adding and taking away with fingers, objects, and drawings
Read the color key at the top together: which color goes with each number or letter.
Your child solves the problem, counts the dots, or reads the letter in each square and colors it the matching color.
Squares marked leave white stay white.
The picture that appears shows right away if the work is correct.
Tips for parents and teachers
Ask your child to solve a few squares and write the sum lightly in the corner before coloring. Mixing up two colors with similar sums is the most common error, so keep the color code close to the grid. Fingers, a number line or small objects are all fine helpers at this stage.
Make it easier or harder
Easier: Solve the first row together and color it right away so your child sees the picture start. You can also color all squares of one sum first.
Harder: Time how long it takes to solve one full row, then try to beat it. Ask your child to write two different facts for every sum in the code.
