Object addition worksheet
This object addition worksheet is ideal for Year 1 pupils who are developing early number sense and learning to add using concrete objects. Aligned with the White Rose small steps and the National Curriculum, the worksheet supports children as they count real-life images to find totals and begin to understand the concept of addition as combining.
Pupils count groups of objects and write the matching number sentences underneath, encouraging them to move from counting all to counting on. This helps to build fluency and understanding of the addition structure in a visual and supportive way.
The clear layout and use of everyday images make it particularly helpful for visual learners, EAL pupils and those who benefit from a more concrete approach to number. It can be used independently, in small groups, or as part of whole-class teaching, especially during the early stages of your addition unit.
Perfect for maths rotations, early finishers, or consolidation work, this activity gives children the chance to practise addition in a practical and engaging format.
This resource is part of our full Year 1 maths worksheets collection, all aligned with the White Rose small steps and designed to build strong foundational maths skills.
