From counting objects to addition facts
These preschool and kindergarten addition worksheets help children see addition as “putting together” before they move into written equations. Learners practise adding pictures and objects, making 10, using number lines, decomposing numbers, and finding sums to 10 and 20.
The printable activities include visual problems, vertical addition, addition word problems, and structured practice with totals under 20. They are designed for children who are building one-to-one counting, number sense, and early confidence with the plus sign.
This collection sits in the Preschool and Kindergarten > Addition section and begins with concrete representations: children count two groups of objects, combine them, and record the total. Picture addition and adding objects are useful first steps because children can touch, point, circle, or cross-count before writing a number sentence.
Building sums to 10 and 20
As children grow more secure, the worksheets move toward sums to 10, making 10, and sums to 20. Activities such as make ten objects and decompose numbers show that 10 can be made in different ways, such as 6 and 4 or 7 and 3. Decomposing numbers under 20 helps children understand that numbers are made of parts, not just memorized answers.
Number lines, vertical sums, and word problems
Number line pages help children connect addition with counting on: start at the first number, make jumps, and land on the total. Vertical addition pages introduce careful alignment of numbers, including addition vertical sums to 20. Addition word problems give meaning to the operation with simple stories about joining groups, gaining more, or combining sets.
A simple routine for parents
Choose one page that matches your child’s comfort level. First, ask your child to tell a story about the pictures: “There are 4 apples and 3 more apples.” Next, have them count all, then try counting on from the larger number. End by asking, “What two parts made the total?” Keep manipulatives nearby—buttons, cereal pieces, or blocks—so the worksheet can become hands-on when needed.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for morning work, small-group reteaching, math centers, early finisher folders, or quick checks after a lesson. The range of formats makes it easy to match students to the right representation: objects for beginners, number lines for counting-on practice, and vertical equations for children ready to record sums more formally.

Why iBloom worksheets help
Each worksheet focuses on one clear addition step, so children are not overwhelmed by too many demands at once. Watch for common errors such as recounting the first group twice, skipping a number on the number line, reversing digits in teen totals, or writing the answer in the wrong place in a vertical problem. A child-friendly strategy is: “Count the first group, hold that number in your head, then count on with your fingers or jumps.”
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What addition skills do these preschool and kindergarten worksheets cover?
They cover adding pictures and objects, sums to 10, sums to 20, making 10, decomposing numbers, number line addition, vertical addition, and simple addition word problems.
Should my child count all the objects or count on?
Counting all is appropriate at the beginning. As your child becomes confident, encourage counting on from the larger number because it is a more efficient addition strategy.
How can I help if my child struggles with making 10?
Use real objects in two colors or two groups. Show combinations such as 5 and 5, 6 and 4, or 8 and 2, then have your child say the two parts and the total.
Are vertical addition pages suitable for kindergarten?
Yes, when children already understand combining groups. Keep totals within 20 and focus on placing the answer carefully under the numbers rather than rushing.
How do number lines support early addition?
Number lines help children see addition as forward movement. They start at a number, make a set number of jumps, and read the number where they land as the sum.

Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
