Problem Description:
The task involves counting the dots in each box, writing the corresponding numbers, and then adding them together. The goal is to fill in the blanks with the correct sums.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Count the Dots in Each Box
We will count the dots in each of the boxes provided and write the corresponding numbers.
1.
First Row:
- Left box: `• • •` (3 dots)
- Right box: `• •` (2 dots)
2.
Second Row:
- Left box: `• •` (2 dots)
- Right box: `• • • •` (4 dots)
3.
Third Row:
- Left box: `• •` (2 dots)
- Right box: `• • •` (3 dots)
4.
Fourth Row:
- Left box: `• • • •` (4 dots)
- Right box: `• • •` (3 dots)
#### Step 2: Write the Numbers and Add Them
Now, we will write the numbers for each box and add them together.
1.
First Row:
- Left box: 3
- Right box: 2
- Sum: \( 3 + 2 = 5 \)
2.
Second Row:
- Left box: 2
- Right box: 4
- Sum: \( 2 + 4 = 6 \)
3.
Third Row:
- Left box: 2
- Right box: 3
- Sum: \( 2 + 3 = 5 \)
4.
Fourth Row:
- Left box: 4
- Right box: 3
- Sum: \( 4 + 3 = 7 \)
#### Step 3: Fill in the Blanks
We will now fill in the blanks with the correct sums.
- First row: \( 3 + 2 = 5 \)
- Second row: \( 2 + 4 = 6 \)
- Third row: \( 2 + 3 = 5 \)
- Fourth row: \( 4 + 3 = 7 \)
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ccc}
3 & + & 2 = 5 \\
2 & + & 4 = 6 \\
2 & + & 3 = 5 \\
4 & + & 3 = 7 \\
\end{array}
}
\]
Explanation:
This problem helps students practice basic addition by visually counting objects (dots) and then performing simple arithmetic operations. It reinforces the concept of addition and improves number sense. Each step involves identifying the number of dots, writing the corresponding numbers, and calculating their sum. This method ensures clarity and accuracy in solving the problem.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of addition worksheet with dots.
