Pounds Addition Measurement Worksheet

Six-year-olds may know how to add, then pause when a unit appears after the number. This page keeps the task focused with four pound addition problems. The child reads the quantities shown with illustrated measurement models, adds the pound amounts, and records the total.

It fits a kindergarten child who can recognize numerals, count on or use fingers, and write an answer in a small space. If the abbreviation lb is new, say it as “pounds” each time so the mark feels like a unit label, not another number to add.

Sit nearby for the first problem and work left to right together. Point to each illustrated measurement model and ask, “What number do we see?” and “What unit is it?” Then have them combine amounts that use the same unit. The pictures are models, not life-size measuring tools, so use them for reading the problem, not for measuring real objects.

After this page, you can keep the same idea going with a different unit. The milliliter addition measurement worksheet gives more add-the-amounts practice with liquid measure. When your child is ready to shift from adding to deciding which amount is larger, the pint comparison measurement worksheet offers a short comparison activity with another everyday unit.
