Adding up to 5. Worksheets and Interactive Teaching Pages

This resource has been expanded so there are now 2 Interactive Teaching Pages and 2 worksheets.

“Adding up to 5 with Jellyfish 1” introduces the concept of adding and the symbols + and = by first counting two sets of objects and then selecting the equivalent total.

The equation with numbers can then be revealed, one element at a time, and comparison between the two can be made.

“Adding up to 5 with Jellyfish 2” invites the pupils to complete the addition sum and if needed do a check through counting.

The 2 static worksheets cover most of the combinations of numbers that add up to 5 or less.

See the “HELP” Page for further guidance.
