This worksheet is best used as independent practice as part of your math lessons when focusing on addition strategies. Students count on from the given number by continuing the circles and writing the number under each. They then use the final number as their answer to the addition problem.

Counting On Addition Strategy Worksheet: Scaffolding & Extension Tips 

In addition to individual student work time, use this addition worksheet as a:

• Math center activity
• Post-lesson exit ticket 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

Got fast finishers? Students who need a challenge can write and solve their own equations using the strategy or apply the strategy to two-digit addition problems. 

Students who need extra support can count on using manipulatives to represent the addends.
