Let’s solve each problem step by step.
We’re using the “counting on” strategy — that means we start with the bigger number and count up by the smaller number.
---
Left Worksheet (using circles):
1.
4 + 3 = ?
Start at 4, count on 3 more: 5, 6, 7 → Answer:
7
2.
6 + 4 = ?
Start at 6, count on 4 more: 7, 8, 9, 10 → Answer:
10
3.
2 + 6 = ?
Start at 6 (bigger number), count on 2 more: 7, 8 → Answer:
8
4.
5 + 3 = ?
Start at 5, count on 3 more: 6, 7, 8 → Answer:
8
*(Note: The shaded circles show how many to count on — black circles are already counted, white ones are what you add.)*

Right Worksheet (using number line or mental counting):
Number line goes from 45 to 53 — helpful for visualizing!
1.
49 + 3 = ?
Start at 49, count on 3: 50, 51, 52 → Answer:
52
2.
50 + 1 = ?
Just one more than 50 → Answer:
51
3.
46 + 4 = ?
Start at 46, count on 4: 47, 48, 49, 50 → Answer:
50
4.
51 + 2 = ?
Start at 51, count on 2: 52, 53 → Answer:
53
5.
45 + 6 = ?
Start at 45, count on 6: 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51 → Answer:
51
6.
48 + 2 = ?
Start at 48, count on 2: 49, 50 → Answer:
50
7.
47 + 5 = ?
Start at 47, count on 5: 48, 49, 50, 51, 52 → Answer:
52
8.
52 + 1 = ?
One more than 52 → Answer:
53

All answers checked carefully.
Final Answer:
Left Worksheet:
4 + 3 = 7
6 + 4 = 10
2 + 6 = 8
5 + 3 = 8
Right Worksheet:
49 + 3 = 52
50 + 1 = 51
46 + 4 = 50
51 + 2 = 53
45 + 6 = 51
48 + 2 = 50
47 + 5 = 52
52 + 1 = 53
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of addition worksheet counting on.
