Color and Add Objects
This engaging math worksheet is designed to help students in Kindergarten and Grade 1 develop strong counting skills, addition understanding, number sense, and visual discrimination through an interactive color-and-add activity. Students color each type of object a different color, count how many are in each group, and then write an addition sentence to show the total, reinforcing the concept of addition as combining sets in a hands-on, meaningful way.
