Teaching tips and what to try next

Counting apples turns addition within 10 into a picture problem that kindergartners can check on their own. Let your child count all the apples the first time, then nudge them to count on from the bigger group. For plain practice without pictures, try Addition Within 10; for story problems, Addition and Subtraction Word Problems Within 10.

10 versions, each with its own answer key

Same skill and layout, a fresh set of problems in every version, so children can keep practicing without repeating a page. Problems are not repeated between versions unless a skill has only a small number of possible problems (for example, the addition facts within 10).

About this worksheet

This kindergarten worksheet turns addition into counting. Each of the 12 problems shows two groups of apples with a plus sign between them, followed by the matching number sentence and a box for the answer. Every sum is 10 or less, so children can always check their answer by counting all the apples.

Picture problems are the right first step for addition in kindergarten. Children see that adding means putting two groups together, and the written number sentence right below the pictures connects the objects to the symbols. Each of the 10 versions has new facts, and together the versions cover all 45 addition facts with sums up to 10.

How to use it: have your child touch and count the first group, then the second group, then count all of them together. Once that feels easy, show the counting-on shortcut: say the first number and count on from there. Real objects help too, so set out a few apples, blocks or buttons and act out a problem or two before starting the page. Let your child color the apples when they finish.

The answer key shows every sum in red. For more practice, try our Addition Within 5 worksheet or our Word Problems Within 10 worksheet.
