Little Math Stories Addition Worksheet

1st Grade Math

English Addition & Subtraction Logical Thinking 6 years old

Little Math Stories is a grade 1 math worksheet with three picture stories for addition and subtraction. Children read short scenes about flowers, rabbits, and frogs, then figure out how many are there now or how many are left.

At age 6, many children can count well but stall when a word problem asks for the operation. Picture stories help children notice action words, such as more, hop away, and left, so the math feels connected to real meaning.

A parent or teacher can sit beside the child and read one story aloud at a time. Ask the child to point to the picture, circle the important numbers, decide whether the story is adding or taking away, and write the answer for 6 flowers plus 7 more, 19 rabbits minus 13, and 9 frogs plus 11 more.

The worksheet is useful because each problem pairs a friendly picture with one clear story and one question. The mix of addition and subtraction keeps children from guessing by pattern and gives families a simple way to talk through math thinking together.
