Addition with Furniture — Kindergarten

Each problem on this sheet shows sofas, tables and a lamp to gather: one small group, a plus sign, another small group, and a box for how many in all. Because every one of the furniture is right there to be touched and counted, even a child who is not yet reading can finish the whole sheet on their own. Counting two groups and saying how many altogether is the earliest, most concrete form of addition — the groundwork the written plus sign is built on later.

Sums stay small, within ten, so the answer is always reachable by counting the pictures rather than recalling a fact a five-year-old has not met yet. That keeps the focus on what addition means — putting two groups of furniture together into one total — instead of racing for speed before the idea is secure.

Children who enjoy furniture take to this one quickly, and it works just as well as a quiet morning task or a count-along on the board. When the set feels easy, count a different collection in addition with hospital things, or try addition with ocean life.
