How to print and use addition worksheets

These addition worksheets are very easy to print and use. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your time:

Materials needed:

• Printer and paper
• Your child's favorite writing utensil
• Page protectors (optional)
• Manipulatives (optional)
• Dry erase marker or dry erase crayon (optional)

You can make these addition worksheets reusable with page protectors. We use heavy duty "secure" page protectors with a flap to keep the pages in. Your child can write the sums with a dry erase crayon or marker, wipe the page clean, and use it again. It's also much easier to stay organized when you can place your current worksheets in a 3-ring binder (instead of having them scattered all over the house.)

We use Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 pencils instead of dry erase markers. They're basically wax crayons in a large wood pencil shape. They can be used for everyday coloring and writing, but they also work instead of a dry erase marker. They wipe off very easily - no scrubbing required like with marker ink. You can see a quick video clip of how well Woodies work on laminated pages in this post with free printable dinosaur coloring pages.

How to use addition worksheets

If your little learner is new to addition worksheets, you may want to work the first page with them by counting each image aloud while pointing to it. You may also want to only use one or two of the pages instead of all three if they're still working on larger numbers.

Your child can count and color the sea life images, write each number on the provided line, then add the two numbers together and write the sum in the box. My daughter can count higher than she can write. If this is true for your child, they can make tally marks or just place dot as they count instead of writing the numeral. (Make sure to grab these number tracing pages to give them more number practice!)

Instead of coloring each sea animal, your child can place a small manipulative, like a counting bear or Unifix cube, on each image as they count. For an extra fine motor challenge, have them use tongs to place the manipulative. We have this set of counting bears that comes with tongs.
